Former Israeli Prime Ministers Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid have announced a merger of their parties to create a single political faction. The new entity, named Together, will be headed by Bennett and brings together Bennett's right-wing party and the centrist There is a Future.
The two political heavyweights are joining forces in a bid to oust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his coalition government. This strategic alliance is aimed at the upcoming election expected to take place later this year.
By merging their parties, Bennett and Lapid have created a formidable political entity. This new faction poses a significant threat to the current government and could potentially outpoll Netanyahu’s Likud party in the upcoming vote.
