Former Israeli Prime Ministers Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid announced during a joint press conference in Herzliya, Israel, that they are merging their political parties to challenge Benjamin Netanyahu in this year’s elections. Lapid’s “Yes Atid” and Bennett’s “Bennett 2026” will officially combine to form a new faction called the “Together” party, which will operate under Bennett’s leadership. Despite their ideological differences as a hardline right-wing politician and a secular moderate, both leaders emphasized the urgent need to put personal egos aside to restore national unity. The newly unified coalition aims to secure a decisive electoral victory and establish a stable, reform-focused Zionist government.
