At present, Gantz is not at a stage he can threaten for the post. We have worked well with Netanyahu and there is no reason we won't continue to work [together] going forward. "

There is "no reason" Kulanu and Likud cannot work together to secure a majority in the upcoming elections, Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon (Kulanu) said at a conference on Monday.

Stressing the importance of his party in electing Netanyahu in 2015, Kahlon said at the Besheva conference "if [Netanyahu] has the majority, there's no problem" recommending he be recommended for Israel's next prime minister.

"Without the 10 mandates of the Kulanu party, Netanyahu would not have been elected as prime minister," he said. "At present, Gantz is not at a stage he can threaten for the post. We have worked well with Netanyahu and there is no reason we won't continue to work [together] going forward. "

When pressed on what his party would do if Likud would not have a majority in Kneset without Kulanu, Kahlon said "then we'll make a majority for them."
