Meretz MK Yair Golan said in an interview with "Democrat TV" that Defense Minister Benny Gantz should withdraw his candidacy from the 24th Knesset race.

'I hope Gantz does not pass the voting threshold. He has no moral justification for continuing to run for office. I hope he gets over it and leaves political life in time, to understand that he has done enough damage to the [leftist] camp and its voters and will allow supporters to place their trust in another party that will represent them more faithfully and appropriately," said Golan.
