Israeli Right-Wing Leaders Urge Small Parties to Withdraw After Gantz Exits
Summarized from Israel National News by baba
Israeli right-wing leaders are pressuring small party leaders, including Ofer Winter, to withdraw from the Knesset race following Benny Gantz's exit. Ministers Bezalel Smotrich, Shlomo Karhi, and Gideon Sa'ar are urging these parties to consolidate the right-wing vote to prevent wasted votes and potential negative outcomes for Israel. They argue that Gantz's move unified the left, and a similar consolidation is needed on the right to avoid "devastating" consequences.
