Treasury Minister Katz: Netanyahu won't forfeit option to run as PM in snap elections in 2021

Treasury Minister Katz: Netanyahu won't forfeit option to run as PM in snap
elections in 2021
Dr. Aaron Lerner 1 August 2020

In an interview with YNET on July 20,2020 Treasury Minister Yisrael Katz
(Likud) explained that while Prime Minister was not going to honor his
written commitment to Blue White for a two year budget because "it is
impossible to achieve in August", that "there is no possibility nor is it
reasonable that Prime Minister Netanyahu should put on himself sanctions
next March that are not in the law".

Katz was relating to the fact that while the written commitment to Blue
White has Gantz become prime minister in October 2021 and/or if the Likud
causes snap elections while Netanyahu is prime minister that a "void" in the
structure of the agreement provides that if elections are held in March 2021
because of a failure to pass a budget for 2021 that Mr. Netanyahu would run
in those elections as prime minister.
