Benny Gantz Says Blue and White Has Broad Support Despite Polls

In a recent interview with Kan News, Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz asserted that his party has a wide base of support, even if it is not yet fully aware of it. Gantz described his target electorate as "all the sane public in Israel," emphasizing his goal to form a broad Zionist bloc. He acknowledged the challenges ahead but stressed the importance of unity and the necessity of his political efforts.

Gantz responded to questions about his party's polling struggles by highlighting the positive feedback he receives from the public, including encouragements like "Don't stop" and "We think like you." He anticipated criticism on social media but expressed determination to convince as many voters as possible. The former defense minister also called for the unification of the political center into a single party capable of imposing a government representing their ideals.

Looking ahead to the upcoming elections, Gantz reiterated his plan to establish "the bloc of Israel" and warned that failure to do so could result in a narrow government reliant on Arab parties. His comments underline his strategic focus on consolidating centrist forces to influence Israel's political future.
