Summarized from Ynetnews by baba
Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz withdrew from the election race eight days before voting, ending the "third bloc" he represented. Despite earlier confidence and polling, Gantz decided to step aside due to concerns about falling below the electoral threshold. His departure is not expected to significantly benefit Prime Minister Netanyahu or the opposition, with Yoaz Hendel potentially seeing modest gains. Gantz will continue to advocate for a national unity government outside the election.
