Yisrael Beiteinu Party Chairman MK Avigdor Lieberman attacked Blue and White Chairman Benny Gantz on his Twitter account today (Sunday), calling on him to withdraw from the race, along with Yaron Zelicha, Chairman of the Economic Party.

There are two paths in your running course - either crowning Netanyahu as prime minister or crowning Netanyahu as prime minister." Lieberman added: "I call on you to show responsibility, not to burn important votes from the Change Bloc and announce that this time you are choosing to vote and not be elected." Blue and White had no obligations left - and replied to Lieberman: "20 years in politics, and your greatest achievement is tweeting tips to other parties. We are running, and we will continue to run to prevent Netanyahu from ruling alone in April. He must not be left alone." Minister Michael Biton of Blue and White, in an interview on Galts, commented on Lieberman's words and said that he "is joining an irresponsible group that is trying to harm Blue and White. He is the last one who can preach after crowning Netanyahu several times. His hypocrisy is fundamental." According to a report in Maariv, Labor Party Chairman MK Merav Michaeli arrived today for an election tour at the Hatikva Market, but she was recorded in an embarrassing video for her - when one of the local merchants made clear to her their support for Likud and Benjamin Netanyahu. "The entire Hatikva neighborhood and the wave of citizens who are close to here, anyone who buys at my stand and votes for Bibi, number 1 on the ballot, gets a 30 percent discount. Only Bibi!", a merchant shouted loudly at Michaeli, and she was forced to retreat from the scene and continue the tour. MK Michaeli's representative said in response that the tour was mostly successful, and only towards the end did a number of merchants arrive who chose to highlight their support for Netanyahu. The Knesset member's spokeswoman claimed that she was spat at by one of the merchants.
