Political commentator Amit Segal of Channel 12 News acknowledged Benny Gantz's decision to join the national emergency government following the October 7th Hamas attack. Segal stated that Gantz's move, alongside Gideon Sa'ar and Gadi Eisenkot, was the correct one for Israel during a difficult period, fostering a sense of stability for the public.
Segal emphasized that while Gantz's political downfall can be debated, his contribution during the crisis should not be forgotten. He argued that the unity forged after the Hamas attack aided the war effort and provided Israelis with stability amid an unprecedented national crisis. Segal sought to separate criticism of Gantz's political path from his crucial decision for the state.
Segal's remarks came hours after Gantz announced his withdrawal from the upcoming Knesset elections, scheduled in eight days, due to polls showing his party below the electoral threshold. This marks a significant chapter in the former IDF chief of staff and defense minister's political career, at least for now. Gantz, however, stated his intention to continue working towards establishing a unity government, which he believes is the necessary solution for Israel's challenges.
