Gantz Vows to Run Until Election End, Urges Unity Vote

Benny Gantz, chairman of the Blue and White party, declared in a special statement that he is committed to running until the end of the election campaign, urging voters to cast their ballots for unity rather than blocs. Gantz, a former IDF Chief of Staff and Defense Minister, stated that the country is heading towards disaster and that politicians from both blocs are opposing the unity he advocates because they desire a decisive outcome. He asserted that this division serves them politically, leading Israel toward more elections and narrow governments that will weaken the nation and invite attacks from enemies. "I have decided not to surrender to our enemies," Gantz said, emphasizing that to fight external enemies, he must first fight for internal unity. He also addressed claims that he is wasting votes, calling them lies from those who fear. "Whoever votes for me votes for unity, not for blocs," he stated, claiming at least six million potential voters for his party. He concluded by saying, "You are not alone. Vote, and we will save the country."

Starting this evening and continuing until the elections, Blue and White will launch an extensive campaign titled "Choosing Unity, Saving the Country." The campaign aims to highlight that unity is the only solution and that Blue and White is the sole party on the political map committed to this principle. The campaign will feature widespread advertising on buses, billboards, digital platforms, and social media.
