Bribery suspect Netanyahu and vote thief Gantz form an alliance of scoundrels (Haaretz)
ALUF BENN: On Monday evening, Benny Gantz signed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s public acquittal. In agreeing to serve as Netanyahu’s appointed successor, Gantz made it clear to the public that he doesn’t care about the prime minister’s bribery indictment

Gantz's sinful deal with Netanyahu makes clash with High Court inevitable (Haaretz)
GIDI WEITZ: Sure, Gantz can boast that he ousted Amir Ohana as justice minister and replaced him with someone from his party. But after the deal he signed with Netanyahu, that won’t matter very much

GERSHON BASKIN: The only national emergency that this government will effectively address is the need to provide cushy jobs for useless politicians.

In ‘unity’ deal, Gantz hopes he’s compelled Netanyahu to let him be PM one day (Times of Israel)
