Israeli media has assessed that the decision of former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and main opposition leader Yair Lapid to run together in this year’s elections could create a new coalition capable of forming a government without the need for Prime Minister Netanyahu.
elchi reports that the decision of former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s “Bennett 2026” party and main opposition leader Yair Lapid’s Yesh Atid party to run together in this year’s elections is seen as potentially shifting the balance of power in Israeli politics.
Israeli media stated that this new coalition would topple the government led by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
According to a report by Israel’s Channel 12, citing sources close to Bennett, the newly announced “Joint Party” aims to end internal conflicts and achieve a decisive victory in the elections scheduled for October 27 this year. According to a recent poll published in the “Maariv” newspaper, “Bennett 2026” is projected to win at least 24 seats in the upcoming elections, which is on par with Netanyahu’s Likud Party, which currently holds 24 seats in the Israeli Knesset. The main opposition party, the Yesh Atid movement, is projected to win 7 seats.
