- Gantz's withdrawal from the Knesset race is the catalyst for the predicted voter shift.

Political pollster and analyst Shlomo Filber predicts that voters who supported Benny Gantz will likely move to parties within the right-wing bloc following Gantz's withdrawal from the Knesset race. Filber noted that Gantz had previously broken a boycott on the right and consistently advocated for a unity government, opposing minority governments reliant on Arab parties.
According to Filber's internal polls, Gantz's supporters, though few, preferred Benjamin Netanyahu over other opposition candidates like Gadi Eisenkot, Naftali Bennett, or Avigdor Lieberman for the role of prime minister. Filber's analysis suggests that a significant portion of Gantz's mandate will likely transfer to right-wing parties rather than left-wing ones.
This potential shift could directly impact the balance of power in the political landscape as election day approaches. Filber recalled that Gantz paid a political price for his earlier actions and was the sole consistent voice calling for a unity government.
