  • National Unity party is using election billboards for reserve soldiers' businesses.
  • The party, led by Benny Gantz, withdrew from the Knesset election race.
  • Media personality Hanoch Daum announced the initiative on Facebook.

Following its withdrawal from the Knesset election race, the National Unity party, led by Benny Gantz, has decided to repurpose its pre-booked billboards to promote businesses owned by reserve soldiers. The initiative was shared by media personality and comedian Hanoch Daum on his Facebook page.

Daum explained that he received a call from Rui Konkol, a former Knesset candidate for the party. Konkol informed him that the party had already rented billboards for the upcoming week in preparation for the elections. However, after deciding not to run, the party opted to dedicate this advertising space to businesses owned by reservists instead of using it for their political campaign.

"A good word for Gantz's party," Daum wrote in his post. He elaborated that Konkol told him the party decided to give the billboards to reservists' businesses. Daum and his team have begun managing the initiative, aiming to feature promotions for reservists' businesses on the billboards within the next week, replacing the party's political advertisements. "We are currently handling this, so if you see promotions for our heroes on billboards, don't be surprised. With free love, we will win," Daum concluded.
