How can I merge two images side by side with option to add/remove space between the images ?

Question

This method merge the two images side by side but not yet perfect as I wanted.

private Bitmap MergeImages(Image image1, Image image2)  
        {  
            Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(image1.Width + image2.Width, Math.Max(image1.Height, image2.Height));  
            using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap))  
            {  
                g.DrawImage(image1, 0, 0);  
                g.DrawImage(image2, image1.Width, 0);  
            }  
  
            return bitmap;  
        }  

using it

MergeImages(Image.FromFile(filesRadar[filesRadar.Length - 1]),  
                                Image.FromFile(filesSatellite[filesSatellite.Length - 1])).Save(@"d:\Downloaded Images\merged.bmp");  

The result

The problem is on the left image there is a bit white area and in the original image it's not exist so how can I make that the white area will not be exist ?

The second problem is how to add a variable for the space between the images ? space I mean not white area between them but just a space between them
a variable for example if I set the variable value to 0 the merged image will be as it is now in the screenshot without space but if I set the value to 10 for example then there will be a space of 10 units(not sure what units) space.

because is hard to see the white area at the bottom of the left image I took a screenshot of my screen to show it more clear :

The left image original is like this without the white area at the bottom and this is how I want it to be when merging both images :

@sharon glipman , I make some changes on your code and it could add space between two images.
My idea is that we could add the width when we merge the second image.

Code:

 private Bitmap MergeImages(Image image1, Image image2,int space)  
        {  
            Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(image1.Width + image2.Width+space, Math.Max(image1.Height, image2.Height));  
            using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap))  
            {  
                g.Clear(Color.Black);  
                g.DrawImage(image1, 0, 0);  
                g.DrawImage(image2, image1.Width+space, 0);  
            }  
            Image img = bitmap;  
              
            img.Save("D:\\3.jpg");  
            return bitmap;  
        }  


Bitmap b = MergeImages(img1, img2,10);  

In order to test the result, I used the same picture and set the picture background color is black.

Result:
