Aliza Bloch, the former mayor of Beit Shemesh, is set to officially announce her candidacy for the Knesset in the upcoming elections. Following reports of her political ambitions, Bloch is currently exploring several options, including joining an existing party, aligning with a new political framework, or running independently. She is holding discussions with various political figures, with names like Benny Gantz, Yuli Edelstein, and Gilad Erdan mentioned as potential contacts.

Bloch has expressed a strong commitment to education reform, declaring, "I will be the next Minister of Education of Israel." She emphasized the need for the education system to be prepared for crises, ensuring continuity and support for students and families during emergencies.
