Calls for a Zionist Unity Government After Polling Results Published

In depth

Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz responded to the polling results and called on the leaders of the Zionist and statist parties to immediately open negotiations to form a cross-bloc Zionist unity government. According to him, "the public in Israel has chosen change - it must be the right change". Gantz, who withdrew from the race for the Knesset again just days before the elections, called to avoid further elections.

According to Arutz Sheva, Gantz said that in light of the challenges facing Israel from within and without, forming a unity government is "the right and only solution" that would prevent further elections.
