I have always served this state and I'm not going to stop now. I appeal to you, the readers – you, who have been struggling for months against a man who is holding an entire country by the throat just so he can evade trail; you – who believed I can replace him and were left hanging not once, but three times.

I have been able to block his path three times. I have been able to prevent the creation of a radical government – a dangerous government that would grant him immunity three times. Then came the coronavirus and we were fighting for our lives, literally; fighting for our health, our livelihood, and our unity.
I am a soldier of the State of Israel. I heeded the call and joined an emergency national unity government with Netanyahu. I did that because Israel was at war and I am first and foremost its soldier.
Yes – I took a bullet for the state during the COVID war. I have paid a heavy political and personal price but we wrestled half of the government away from Netanyahu and became the gatekeepers of Israeli democracy, security, and economy.
We involved the Home Front Command in the fight against the pandemic. We made sure that the economic grants were differential so that they serve those who needed them most, and that the economy would resume activity in a balanced manner.
We protected the justice system and prevented bills to pass an override clause that would disempower the High Court of Justice, this undermining the gatekeepers. We prevented legislation that would grant Netanyahu immunity from prosecution.
We marked a series of achievements in agriculture, culture, and tourism and we were able to maintain them despite the difficulties and limitations of the past year.
Now, we are racing toward the fifth election in two years and if – heaven forbid – that were to happen, then Netanyahu will try to accomplish his scheme of becoming a "permanent temporary ruler" by firing Blue and White's ministers, the attorney general and the state attorney.
Faces with this scheme, I'm your insurance policy. I vow to push for the formation of a government led by honest people. To safeguard our home from the inside, as well as against external threats.
Only a vote for Blue and White will protect Israel because Israel comes first.
