There is also a lesson to be learned from so-called “pragmatic” voting. It is difficult to recount the number of people and institutions that placed Gantz’s Blue and White party on a pedestal, claiming he was the only one who could get rid of Netanyahu, and thus voting for him was the sensible thing to do. Voters even left parties such as Meretz and Labor to support an alliance of ex-IDF generals (Gantz himself bragged that he had bombed Gaza back to the stone age) and Likud defectors. All in the name of replacing Netanyahu.


You tried to convince me once to leave Meretz and vote for Blue and White .
I didn't but many did .

As for the Joint List and a coalition , I suggest you read here :
