Hours after announcing his dramatic withdrawal from the Knesset race, Blue and White Chairman Benny Gantz is still refusing to take a political side or recommend a specific opposition party to his voters. When asked by Channel 12 News who he intends to vote for in the upcoming elections, Gantz responded, "I have joined the undecided public. I recommend that everyone think for themselves and vote for someone who does not incite the people."
Gantz's reaction follows the line he maintained throughout his campaign, emphasizing the importance of unity and avoiding divisive rhetoric. His withdrawal was intended to prevent vote loss within the bloc, but his declaration that he remains among the "undecided public" now leaves hundreds of thousands of center-left voters without clear guidance from the departing faction leader.
