Monday evening, Channel 14 reported that former minister Gilad Erdan is moving toward establishing a new political party, as part of what the outlet describes as the 'third bloc' drama. According to the report, a key figure is delaying the formal announcement. The report comes hours after The Zioneer reported Monday morning that Erdan and Yuli Edelstein planned to announce a new party as early as Tuesday.
At 11:47 Jerusalem on Monday, The Zioneer reported, citing sources familiar with the matter, that Erdan and Edelstein intended to announce the formation of a new party in the coming days, possibly as early as Tuesday. That report stated that the announcement was expected to proceed without Blue and White, and that Gantz's party was reportedly not informed of the plan. The new Channel 14 report, published Monday evening, cites unnamed sources and does not mention Edelstein, leaving his role in the initiative uncertain.
The identity of the key figure allegedly delaying the announcement remains unknown. The party's platform, name, and timeline are unconfirmed. It is also unclear whether Edelstein remains part of the initiative, as the new report does not mention him.
