Former Fire Commissioner Dedi Simchi Considers Leaving Benny Gantz's List for Likud
Dedi Simchi, former Fire and Rescue Commissioner and bereaved father, who recently joined Benny Gantz's political list as his second-in-command for the upcoming elections, is reportedly considering leaving the alliance. According to a report by Kan News on Sunday evening, Simchi is exploring the possibility of accepting a reserved spot in the Likud party if such an offer is presented to him. The main reason behind Simchi's potential departure is the poor performance of Gantz's party in recent polls, where it remains below the electoral threshold, coupled with a lack of political alliances with other parties. Simchi has directly informed Gantz that his intention to enter politics remains firm, even if it means doing so outside the Blue and White framework.
