“I made it clear to the prime minister: you have my full backing,” Gantz said after the meeting.

Pro-Israel activist and IDF veteran Yoseph Haddad is contemplating a political party for Israel's next Knesset elections, with recent polls showing strong support, especially from Jewish voters.

The move also drew swift criticism from Attorney General Baharav-Miara, who warned it could amount to an unlawful effort to undermine public broadcasting and freedom of expression.

The responses were divided into those who support Israel joining the attack only if Iran first attacked or prepared to attack (29%) and those who would support Israeli participation regardless (44%).

In an interview earlier, Gantz said he does not rule out sitting with Netanyahu in a unity government. “It’s time to abandon the ‘anybody but Bibi’ idea and shift to ‘anybody but extremists."

Blue and White released a series of videos described as “nightmare scenarios” that it claimed would occur if “a government controlled by extremists comes to power again.”

Against the backdrop of the draft law, the establishment of a government commission of inquiry, and the interview by Eli Feldstein on the Qatargate affair, coalition parties maintain their strength.

In the audio, recorded during a private parlor meeting, Gantz challenges the premise that he belongs to the opposition camp. “Who said I’m even part of your bloc?” he asked.
