Gantz at the launch of the election campaign: "It's me, Netanyahu - or elections"

The party launched the election campaign under the title "After him" and "Benny Gantz for the Prime Ministership", and presented its list - a combination of members of Blue and White, Tikva New Hope and representatives of former Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot. In his speech, Gantz ignored the possibility that Lapid would be the one to form the next government: "Stable Unity Government Archive"

The State Camp Party held an election conference this evening (Tuesday) where it launched the party's campaign for the 25th Knesset elections.

Under the title "After him" and "Benny Gantz for Prime Minister", the party also presented its list in the elections to the 25th Knesset, a combination of members of Blue and White, Tikva Hadada and representatives of former Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot.

The first five on the list are Benny Gantz, Gideon Sa'ar, Gadi Eisenkot, Panina Tamno Sheta and Yifat Shasha Biton. The main victims on the list are some of the incumbent Blue and White Knesset members, including Eitan Ginzburg and Yael Ron Ben Moshe, who were relegated to unrealistic positions due to the union with Sa'ar and Eisenkot, according to the polls.

Gantz avoided mentioning Prime Minister Yair Lapid in his speech and the possibility that he would form a government under his leadership after the upcoming elections.

He said that "the political reality is complex but clear. There are three options: either Bibi will form an extreme and communist government that will destroy Israeli democracy as we know it. Either we will go to more elections, which will continue to tear the people apart, or I will form a stable and state unity government."

The chairman of the state camp said that "those who want to continue dividing Israel for the first, second, and third time, will, God forbid, bring upon us the first Israeli civil war.

Those who seek to inflame the crisis, and smother the hope;

Those who breathe the fumes of hatred and spread poison from personal motives - will not be able to correct and will not be able to be part of the correction.

Those who do not have faith in our ability to solve the crisis and aim for sixth elections - will not be able to fix it.

We have faith, we will stabilize Israel."

"Over the years in political life I have seen different types of leaders," the Minister of Justice said at the beginning of the event.

"I have seen those who divide and quarrel. Who are built on 'divide and rule'. I have seen those who from the beginning do not want to bring any person of leadership stature or public status into their environment. And if they recognize that such a leader is emerging - they work to keep him away."

"The elections on November 1 are fateful," he continued.

"The future of Israel is not guaranteed if we allow the forces of extremism and factionalism to take control of it. I am the one who caused the turning point when I founded 'Tikva Gadsha' and led to the change of government. I am the one who restored the judicial system and maintained the rule of law in Israel. I tell you tonight: we must not go back. We must Continue forward and together pave Israel's path to its future. I call to the citizens of Israel, give us the strength. Give us the strength to bring Israel out of a political crisis to new hope, to unity, stability and renewal. Vote for the state camp. It depends on us. Each and every one of us. I know that we have in us, that we have in you, the strength to fight and win this campaign. Let's do it. In God we will and we will succeed.
