Gantz Assures Voters Blue and White Will Pass Electoral Threshold

Benny Gantz, chairman of the Blue and White party, addressed voters on Saturday evening who fear the party may not pass Israel's electoral threshold. "When you see the ballot 'Blue and White led by Benny Gantz' at the polling station, you will know that we have checked the data and stand behind the decision to run," he stated.

The declaration came three weeks before election day, following an extensive period of campaigning by Gantz and party members, which the party claims included thousands of meetings with citizens. Gantz said that during these meetings, a recurring sentiment was, "I want to vote for you, but I'm afraid of wasting my vote."

He asserted that according to the party's internal research, more than five Knesset seats are interested in voting for Blue and White, and that the fear of not crossing the electoral threshold is the sole obstacle. "They will convince you that you are alone, but together we are a great force," Gantz said. "If everyone who believes in our path votes, we will pass, and by a large margin."

Gantz promised potential voters that their ballots would not be wasted. "Your trust is sacred to me, therefore your votes are safe," he declared. He concluded by inviting journalists and pollsters to examine the party's data for clear and transparent answers.
