Why Gantz chose to quit the race just before soldier voting

Blue and White party leader Benny Gantz announced his withdrawal from the parliamentary election race, catching many by surprise with the specific timing of his decision. Reports indicate that the move was intentionally timed to precede the opening of military polling stations, ensuring that active-duty soldiers would not waste their ballots on a party that ultimately bowed out of contention. The former military chief sought to spare service members from casting futile votes, demonstrating consideration for troops heading to the polls early. This sudden exit follows a challenging campaign period where the party struggled to cross the electoral threshold in public opinion polls, forcing a reconsideration of his political future.
