Gantz Exit Could Boost Winter's Knesset Chances, Poll Suggests
Summarized from The Jerusalem Post by baba
An internal poll suggests Benny Gantz's withdrawal from the Knesset race could provide Ofer Winter's People of Israel party with the 10,000 votes needed to cross the electoral threshold. The poll found that nearly a quarter of Gantz's voters might switch to Winter, a crucial boost for his party which is currently polling near the threshold. While Winter faces pressure to withdraw from the Right, Gantz's exit could paradoxically strengthen his chances of entering the Knesset.
