As their frustration grew, Biton’s comments may have revealed the party’s position—its departure could indeed come “soon.”
The National Unity party which at its peak had 41 mandates, received only 29 mandates this week - a decrease of 2 mandates compared to last week's survey.
A News 13 poll indicates National Unity Party led by Benny Gantz wins 30 seats if elections held today. Likud strengthens slightly; Yesh Atid receives 15 seats.
In a recent election poll, Gantz weakens slightly but remains stable, as voters continue to see him as a viable option for prime minister over Netanyahu.
From the Likud’s perspective, the move was a positive development, as it weakened both Gantz’s and Ben-Gvir’s leverage over Netanyahu.
National Unity leader Benny Gantz responded to the announcement made by MK Gideon Sa'ar on Tuesday, claiming he was aware of Sa'ar's general plans though not the particular timing.
Gantz is scheduled to meet both Harris, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, and Middle East envoy Brett McGurk on Monday, followed by a conversation with Blinken on Tuesday.
In his speech, Sa’ar stressed the link between Hamas’s extreme Islamist ideology and the outbreak of antisemitism worldwide.
“Our partnership is not political, it is a shared fate. At this time, we are all the soldiers of Israel," Gantz said.
Due to irresponsible political considerations by Gantz and his partners, Israel missed a historic opportunity to determine its future borders.
