Blue and White leader Benny Gantz on Wednesday morning told the media that he and his party have achieved a historic accomplishment, as they appear to have tied with Likud in the race.

Gantz explained “I awaken to a new day with almost final results and we will wait and see the final outcome”. He added, “I said I am coming for ten years, and this is only the first day”.

Gantz, who teamed with the Yesh Atid party headed by Yair Lapid, as well as with other former IDF generals, Moshe Ya’alon and Gabi Ashkenazi, lauded the their accomplishment in the election, promising to continue working whatever the final outcome will be.

Interestingly, in Tel Aviv, Gantz received almost half the votes while Netanyahu, less than 20%.
