Former Beit Shemesh Mayor Aliza Bloch, a candidate on the Blue and White slate, spoke with Arutz Sheva-Israel National News on Tuesday following the official submission of the party slate.

“We submitted the Blue and White slate for the next Knesset, and it’s very exciting," Bloch said. “There is one party in Israel making the case that bloc battles won't save the country - and that we have a real opportunity to foster partnership, unity, and, above all, hope for our children."

Bloch revealed that she was courted by multiple factions before aligning with Benny Gantz's party. “I received offers from nearly every party, but I chose Blue and White out of concern for Israel's future. Everyone else is focused on inter-bloc combat, whereas the country needs a broad government focused on consensus."

Expressing optimism about the party’s prospects, Bloch predicted a strong showing at the polls.

“The public knows what it wants, and that’s partnership - people are exhausted by endless division," she said. “We are going to see a major surprise on election day. We are hearing it directly from voters because we are the only party speaking about unity rather than rift, which is the only way to drive real progress."
