Chairman of the Blue & White party, MK Benny Gantz, on Tuesday indicated a change in his party’s election strategy, now to include the chareidi tzibur.

Speaking at the Eli Horowitz Conference on Economics on Tuesday, Gantz acknowledged that the State of Israel is in a good state from a macro point of view, “but fails to bring success to all parts of society. It would not fare well with the chareidim and Arabs.

“We must promote the income of those two populations, which today account for almost one-third of Israel’s population. Otherwise, these sectors will break down. Steps are being taken in that direction, but in my opinion, this is not really satisfactory in relations to the size of the challenge”.
