Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

Following his withdrawal from the election race, former minister Benny Gantz stated that he remains convinced his path is the correct one, emphasizing the need for a broad, Zionist unity government that transcends party lines. He appealed to party leaders on both sides of the political spectrum, urging them "as citizens of the State of Israel" not to revert to the political divisions that existed before the October 7th attacks.

Gantz called for courage to enact real change, to set aside old ideologies, and to resist partisan politics. He issued a stark warning that failure to unite could lead to the "tearing apart" of the nation, resulting in repeat elections or, worse, a national disaster.
