Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz announced the launch of a new campaign despite polls placing his party below the electoral threshold. Gantz claimed that at least six seats want to vote for him, and that he is running to the end out of a commitment to unity. He accused both political blocs of deepening the rift in Israel and preferring a decisive outcome over unity, in his words. Gantz emphasized that he does not belong to any bloc, and that whoever votes for him votes for unity. He referred to polls he conducted and said he knows what to do, and pledged that if his ballot is found in the ballot box on the 27th of the month, it means he is passing the electoral threshold. Gantz recalled that in the past he was below the electoral threshold and ended up with eight seats.
