Despite recent turmoil and the departure of MK Michael Biton, Benny Gantz's National Unity party is projecting stability and asserting that Gantz will not withdraw from the upcoming 26th Knesset elections. A senior party official stated firmly, "Benny Gantz is running until the end and we will have a very good list." The party is actively working to strengthen its roster in the final hours before candidate lists are submitted to the election committee.
Sources report that National Unity is in negotiations to potentially add Aliza Bloch, currently affiliated with Gilad Erdan's "HaAchdut" party. Bloch is considered a popular figure with strong appeal to both the general and national-religious public. Her potential addition is part of Gantz's strategy to present a diverse and publicly significant list as the election approaches.
This development follows the recent announcement that MK Michael Biton is leaving National Unity to run with another party, marking another challenge for Gantz's party.
