Benny Gantz's departure from the Knesset race may lead to a surprising surge for the "Am Echad Yisrael" party, led by Ofer Vinter. An internal poll, conducted for a coalition party and reported by journalist Anna Breski, indicates that 24.2% of Blue and White voters intend to switch their support to Vinter's party. This represents a potential gain of approximately 10,000 votes for "Am Echad Yisrael," which could be crucial in the tight race to pass the electoral threshold. The survey also shows Vinter leading Gadi Eisenkot, head of the Yashar party, and other parties considered by Gantz's former voters. These findings emerge as the Likud intensifies its campaign against Vinter, and other right-wing parties pressure him to withdraw from the race, fearing his votes might be wasted if his party fails to clear the electoral threshold.
