The Central Elections Committee has rejected the petition filed by Mayor Benny Kashriel of Ma'aleh Adumim to prevent calling the party of Benny Gantz and Yair Lapid Blue and White, the name of his local faction.

The committee reached an agreement that Kashriel would withdraw his petition and in return Blue and White declared that if he wanted to run in the future, it would not prevent him from using the name of the list.
