Blue and White Israel Resilience Party (Hebrew: כחול לבן חוסן לישראל, romanized: Kahol Lavan Hosen LeYisrael, lit. 'Blue and White Resilience for Israel') is a centrist, liberal Zionist political party in Israel which was founded in December 2018 as the Israel Resilience Party by Benny Gantz, former Chief of the General Staff of the Israel Defense Forces. The party first ran in the April 2019 Knesset elections, as part of the Blue and White alliance. In the 2022 Knesset elections the party ran as part of the National Unity alliance. In July 2025, following the resignations of Gadi Eisenkot and Matan Kahana, party leader Benny Gantz announced that the party would revert to its original name, Blue and White, though the party name was changed to Blue and White-National Unity on 7 July 2025 after the name change was approved by the Knesset House Committee. In general, the Israel Resilience Party is mainly regarded as a centrist party; it has also been evaluated as centre-right or centre-left.
