Gantz Assures Voters Blue and White Will Pass Election Threshold
Editorial illustration generated by baba News — not a photograph of the event.

With three weeks remaining until the election, Benny Gantz, leader of the Blue and White party, released a video addressing undecided voters and attempting to alleviate concerns about the electoral threshold. Gantz stated that his party is confident they will surpass the threshold "and in a big way." He asserted that according to their internal research, more than five Knesset seats are interested in voting for Blue and White, and the only obstacle is the fear of wasting votes.

Gantz acknowledged hearing from many potential voters across the country who expressed a desire to vote for his party but feared their vote would not count due to the threshold. He urged these voters to unite, stating, "We are a great force together. If everyone who believes in our path votes, we will pass and in a big way." He also directly addressed those considering voting for Blue and White, assuring them that the party has thoroughly checked its data and stands behind its decision to run, emphasizing that voter trust is paramount and their votes are secure.

Responding to polls and doubts about his party's standing, Gantz invited those involved in reporting and polling to examine their data, promising clear and transparent answers. This statement follows a period of extensive field activity by Gantz and other Blue and White members, during which the party claims to have held thousands of meetings with citizens nationwide.
