While emphasizing his security credentials, Gantz vows to pursue peace with the Palestinians if he is prime minister.

“I know that we need something different, we can have something different. A government that I lead will seek peace and won’t miss an opportunity for a regional change,” he says.

However, he says, “if it turns out that there is no way to reach peace at this time, we will create a new reality. We will fortify Israel’s position as a democratic state, strengthen the settlement blocs and Golan, where we won’t leave ever. Jordan Valley will be our border, but we won’t let millions of Palestinians living beyond the fence to endanger our identity as a Jewish state.”

He also says Jerusalem will stay as “our united capital.”
