Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid have merged their political parties into a new unified party named Together. The merger follows a formal agreement signed on Saturday evening, confirmed by Lapid’s office.
Bennett and Lapid have left a space open for Gadi Eisenkot to join the new party. Eisenkot welcomed the announcement and confirmed he had spoken to Bennett shortly before the public release.
The new party aims to unite the Israeli center ahead of the Knesset elections. Bennett stated the goal was to form a government for all of Israel, not to target votes from either the Right or Left.
