Gantz gives Netanyahu ultimatum for Israeli government agreement

Blue and White party leader Benny Gantz presented Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with an ultimatum the afternoon of April 16: If Netanyahu does not sign an agreement for a unity government by April 20, Gantz will advance legislation preventing an indicted politician from composing a government.

If the legislation became law, this would end the current premier's prospects for remaining in the post, since he was indicted on charges involving corruption, breach of trust and fraud earlier this year.
