Gantz Urges Supporters to Vote, Pledges Continued Service After Withdrawal

Benny Gantz urged supporters to vote on October 27 and said he would continue serving Israel, in a message issued a week after Blue and White withdrew its Knesset candidacy. He thanked activists, supporters and political partners for their work over the past eight years and for the support he had received during the preceding week. Gantz acknowledged their disappointment that the party’s ballot slip would be missing when they voted, while saying its ideas and path remained. He pledged to keep working for national unity and called on voters to participate for the country’s future.
