Gilad Erdan told N12 that a large unification of right-center parties is expected before the elections, and that he is conducting talks with Benny Gantz and Dedi Smakhi. He stated he will not unite with Ofer Winter because Winter is willing to sit in a Netanyahu-led government.
Gilad Erdan's remarks to N12 mark his clearest public outline of political positioning ahead of the next elections. He projects a unification of right-center forces, while drawing a line against Ofer Winter, whom he characterizes as willing to join a Netanyahu-led coalition. The statement confirms ongoing talks with Benny Gantz and Dedi Smakhi, suggesting Erdan is working to consolidate a bloc that excludes both the current coalition and figures perceived as loyal to the prime minister.
The Zioneer previously reported on Erdan's efforts to form a new political party and on his refusal to include figures from the previous 'change government' in his slate. The latest remarks indicate he is actively courting centrist partners while seeking to position himself as the leader of the national camp
