Benny Gantz, chairman of the Blue and White party, addressed questions from ynet regarding his decision to pursue a unity government and his subsequent withdrawal, despite polls indicating the party would pass the electoral threshold. Gantz stated that a unity government is the only way to implement sustainable economic and service plans for Israel. He explained his concern about the election outcome, saying, "I was not convinced that [the party] would cross the threshold of the elections themselves. I did not want someone to put a Blue and White ballot, and there would be no result on the other side."
He urged Israelis to consider the broad support for unity, suggesting that any individual could test the feasibility of implementing major national initiatives, such as economic or service programs, within such a framework. Gantz implied that without a unity government, these crucial plans would not materialize effectively.
