Likud reacts to Gantz-Lapid merger: choose left-wing or right-wing gov.

The Likud Party reacted to the Thursday morning announcement that Benny Gantz's Israel Resilience Party and Yair Lapid's Yesh Atid Party will run together in the April 9 election. 
"The choice is clear," said the statement. "Either Lapid-Ganz's left-wing government with the support of a bloc of Arab parties, or a right-wing government headed by [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu."
