Benny Gantz Confident Blue and White Will Pass Threshold, Rejects Quitting Amid Low Polls

Benny Gantz, chairman of the Blue and White party, dismissed the possibility of withdrawing from the election race despite his party's poor standing in recent polls. Speaking at the National Security Conference hosted by ynet and Yedioth Ahronoth in cooperation with the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS), Gantz expressed confidence that Blue and White would surpass the electoral threshold. "There is an audience of hundreds of thousands who identify with what we say. We will cross the threshold," he stated.
