Gantz Criticizes Bennett-Lapid Alliance, Vows to Replace Netanyahu Government

Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz criticized the alliance between Bennett and Lapid, saying it "harms the ability to replace this terrible government and to form a broad, Zionist government." In a social media post, Gantz argued that instead of appealing to right-wing and religious Zionist voters seeking alternatives, Bennett and Lapid are "entrenching themselves in internal bloc battles" focused on leadership rather than direction. Gantz positioned himself as "your insurance policy" to replace Netanyahu and the extremist government, promising to form a broad, Zionist government without extremists that addresses recruitment, security, and economic challenges.
