Gantz Addresses Voter Fears of Wasted Votes Ahead of Election
Editorial illustration generated by baba News — not a photograph of the event.

With just three weeks until the election, Benny Gantz, chairman of the Blue and White party, addressed the public on Saturday night regarding concerns about crossing the electoral threshold. Gantz stated that during recent intensive field activities across the country, many people expressed a desire to vote for his party but feared their vote would be wasted if the party did not pass the 3.25% threshold. "According to our polls, over 5 mandates want to vote Blue and White," Gantz said. "The fear of the electoral threshold is the only barrier. They convinced you that you are alone, but together we are a great force. If everyone who believes in our path votes, we will pass, and by a large margin."

Gantz sought to alleviate voters' doubts, assuring them that the party had thoroughly examined the data and stood behind its decision to run. "When you see the ballot 'Blue and White headed by Benny Gantz' at the polling station, you will know that we have checked the data and we stand behind the decision to run. Your trust is sacred to me, therefore your votes are safe," he declared.

He concluded by inviting media and pollsters to examine his party's statistical data. "To those involved in coverage and polls, I invite you, come check us out: go over the data and you will receive clear and transparent answers," Gantz summarized.
