Gantz Slams Lieberman's Unity Call, Citing Boycotts

Blue and White party leader Benny Gantz responded to remarks made by Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Lieberman, who called for parties failing to cross the electoral threshold to unite. Gantz stated on social media that Lieberman, by boycotting "half the nation," cannot preach unity. Gantz argued that boycotts and hatred lead to civil war, which he is determined to prevent. He emphasized that Israel needs a Zionist, cross-bloc government capable of addressing domestic and international challenges, rather than another narrow government. Gantz concluded by stating his intention to end the "bloc wars."
