Yedioth Ahronoth Newspaper reported that Benny Gantz, Blue and White Leader, said it was more likely for the entity to head to new elections on March 21, 2021. Gantz told the Newspaper that he had given PM Netanyahu all chances to approve the budget. Disputes over the entity’s budget have been going since the formation of the government on May 17, 2020 between the Likud, led by Netanyahu, and the Blue and White. The latter tried to persuade Netanyahu and the Ministry of Finance into approving the budget several times because the government had not set a budget since 2019.
