Gantz, a former chief of staff of the Israeli military, entered the politics a year ago claiming to overthrow "corrupted" Netanyahu. But after three elections, they joined hands.
Gayil Talshir, an expert on Israeli democracy at the department of politics in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, said Gantz has prevented Netanyahu from using the government to terminate his trial completely.
If Netanyahu had been able to form his dream government without Gantz which just consisted of right-wing parties, they could pass laws that undermine the trial at least as long as Netanyahu is the acting PM.
"I think that we will hear many statements of Netanyahu's party members against the trial, the judges, and the police," Talshir said in an interview with Xinhua.
Netanyahu just minutes before his trial started said at his speech to the media that the former head of the Israeli police, which he appointed, committed criminal offenses as leaking information from PM investigations.
Netanyahu accused the official of wrongdoings, as well another high-ranking police officer. "These are the people who led the investigations against me," he said. "I am sure they did this deliberately and willingly."
Talshir thinks that the new appointee by Netanyahu for the minister of public security who is now in charge of the police would make sure no new investigations against the prime minister would happen.
Analysts said some ministers appointed by the new government may not be the best fit for their public positions, but perfect for helping Netanyahu in the trial.
