With four days to go to the election, Channel 12 news published a recording Thursday of a top political adviser to Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz assailing his boss’s intelligence and competence.
In the recording, a man said to be Israel Bachar, one of Gantz’s top political advisers, is heard talking about Gantz with an unidentified acquaintance. The network said the recording was made several days ago.
Israeli politics appear to be just as toxic as the UK's currently.
