In a tweet on his Twitter account, Shefa wrote: “I have just finished a conversation with Benny Gantz. It was clear to both of us that the gaps created between me and the party will lead to my departure from Blue and White. I am very whole, but honestly, it hurts me. “The whole camp, which strives to create a liberal democratic society, is more necessary today than ever. I will continue to take part in this journey.”
Earlier this week also the Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi And the Minister of Justice Avi Nissenkorn Announced the departure of the party. Nissenkorn announced that he was affiliated with the party founded by Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai and submitted his resignation from the Ministry of Justice, while Ashkenazi claimed that he intended to take a time-out from politics. “Blue and white posed a governmental alternative to Benjamin Netanyahu and we decided to influence from within out of consideration of national responsibility. This is how I acted all my life and this is how I will continue to act. Wherever there was a risk to the state or a risk to me, I chose to take the risk.”
“It was the change of discourse from the annexation of the territories that opened the window of opportunity for peace agreements and together we prevented any attempt at political and legal adventures. I have decided that I do not intend to continue running in the upcoming blue and white election campaign and that I will take my time in the Foreign Ministry.” “I thanked my friend and traveling companion, Bnei Gantz, and wished him success in leading the party in the upcoming elections.”

He will end up sacrificing the future of Israel for his personal, legal, and political future. Many have tried, millions have asked for it, years of hopes to move him from office His political path is the greatest achievement of blue and white and not the only one. “
“Blue and white paved the way for that, blue and white saved the country,” Ganz said. “True, we lay on the fence, some say the grenade. True, we pay a very heavy political price for it. And as I have done for the last 40 years: I do not think for myself for a moment, I think about you. We knew who Netanyahu was even before we entered, we knew there was no “There has not been a drop of truth in his path. Not a single day has passed in this government where Netanyahu has seen us as partners, or seen your good. I have been attacked, and still am, attacked every day, while blocking the dangerous moves that Netanyahu has led here with his people in recent months.”
