Kichol V’lavan chairman Benny Gantz spoke with the Kretchnif Rebbe on Wednesday when they both visited the home of Deputy Minister Meir Porush, who was sitting shiva for his brother, according to a Kan News report.

The Kretchnif Rebbe asked Gantz about his partner, Yair Lapid, known for his vicious anti-haredi rhetoric. Lapid’s presence in Blue and White is an insurmountable obstacle to the party possibly forming a coalition with the charedi parties in the 22nd Knesset.

“What’s with your partner Yair Lapid,” the Kretchnif Rebbe inquired.

“My partner is behaving better all the time. It will be okay,” Gantz responded.

At that point, Porush, sitting on a low chair in front of the two men, said, “We don’t want them saying that they started negotiating here,” which caused the people present to break out in laughter.
