National Unity

Hebrew: המחנה הממלכתי (“The State/Statesmanlike Camp”), also known as Blue and White · Leader: Benny Gantz

Once the leading anti-Netanyahu centrist force (12 seats in 2022), National Unity effectively collapsed after both Eisenkot and Sa’ar departed to build their own parties. Early-August 2026 polling has it at or below the electoral threshold (roughly 1.4–1.9%).

• Gantz has floated openness to a broad unity government that could include Netanyahu himself — a marked shift from his earlier “anyone but Bibi” positioning, and one that has drawn criticism from former opposition allies.
• Gantz explored, but did not conclude, a merger with the new “third bloc” parties; a Gantz willingness to sit with the Haredi parties was reportedly a sticking point in those talks.
