Following its withdrawal from the Knesset election race, Benny Gantz's party has decided to repurpose its already-rented advertising spaces. Instead of using billboards for political campaigning, the party will dedicate them to promoting businesses owned by reserve soldiers. The initiative was revealed by media personality and comedian Hanoch Daum, who shared on Facebook that he received a call from Roi Kunkol, a former Knesset candidate for the party. Kunkol informed Daum that due to the party's withdrawal, they decided to redirect the secured advertising slots to a different cause.
Daum praised the move, stating, "A good word for Gantz's party." He explained that Kunkol told him the party had rented billboards for the upcoming week but, since they are not running, they chose to offer the space to businesses owned by reservists. Daum and his team have begun implementing the initiative, which will feature businesses of reserve soldiers on billboards throughout the coming week. This repurposing allows advertising space originally intended for an election campaign to assist business owners who have served in the reserves. "We are currently handling this, so if you see promotions for our heroes on billboards, don't be surprised," Daum concluded, adding a message of unity: "In free love, we will win."
