Blue and White party leader Benny Gantz announced that Knesset member Hili Tropper, who announced his departure from the party, will not resign from the current Knesset. Gantz wrote that "we agreed that Tropper will remain in the current Knesset and will not resign in order not to give an additional vote to the coalition that would help it advance the draft evasion law and harm IDF soldiers and Israeli society." At the same time, Gantz asked Knesset member Orit Farkash-Hacohen to resign from the Knesset, after she moved to the Yashar! party led by Gadi Eisenkot.
