Netanyahu and Gantz formed their coalition last May after battling to a stalemate in three consecutive elections. Netanyahu accuses Gantz's Blue and White party of acting as an "opposition within the government." "A criminal defendant with three indictments is dragging the country to a fourth round of elections," Blue and White said Tuesday night. In the previous three elections, Netanyahu was unable to put together a majority coalition with his traditional religious and nationalist allies. "We are against elections; this is a wrong decision by Blue and White," Netanyahu said.
