Blue and White Leader Benny Gantz Drops Out of Upcoming Knesset Elections

Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz announced on Monday that he will not run in the upcoming Knesset elections, just a week after vowing to stay in the race until the end. Gantz will hold a press conference at 20:00 to deliver his official statement and answer questions.

Gantz stated that he will continue fighting for unity, calling it the only solution to prevent further disaster and protect the nation. Recent polls published across leading media outlets consistently showed his party failing to pass the electoral threshold, sparking internal debates within Blue and White over potentially wasting crucial votes for the change bloc.
