Newly elected Knesset member Tehilah Friedman explained why she switched parties in March from the left leaning Yesh Atid (There is a Future) to the Blue and White center-left party.

"I decided to go in the direction of a national unity government with Blue and White chariman Benny Gantz even though I still had admiration and love for Yesh Atid chairman Yair Lapid," Friedman said.
