According to news commentator Mazal Mualem, "the Blue and White party has collapsed." Regarding the many internal disagreements and tensions in Blue and White, Mualem added: "It's clear that Benny Gantz (head of Blue and White) made a tragic mistake in not joining a unity government (following the September elections). It's not at all clear what will become of his party."
Journalist Ariel Kahana commented: "It's not by chance that three former IDF chiefs of staff, the most obvious representatives of the Israeli establishment, joined forces against Netanyahu. The feeling on the right and many others in Israel that 'they are out to get us, to take away our strength' is authentic whether you are Ashkenazic or Sephardic, Yemenite or Ethiopian, and Netanyahu in particular harbors this feeling."
