Benny Gantz, chairman of the National Unity Party, declared on Saturday evening that he intends to run in the upcoming elections and strongly criticized the conduct of both political blocs. Gantz asserted that anyone claiming he is wasting votes is lying and fearful, stating that his voters are choosing unity, not blocs. He believes there are at least six mandates (seats in the Knesset) that wish to vote for his party, urging them, "You are not alone. Vote, and we will save the country."

Gantz warned of an impending disaster, emphasizing the need to stop and save the nation. He accused politicians from both blocs of opposing the unity he champions, suggesting they prefer a decisive outcome that serves them politically. According to Gantz, this division is leading Israel toward more elections and narrow governments that will tear the country apart internally and invite attacks from enemies.

"I have decided not to surrender to our enemies," Gantz stated, explaining that to fight them, he must "struggle for unity among us, and therefore I am running until the end."
