Two former Israeli prime ministers, Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid, have joined forces to challenge Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of upcoming elections. They announced the merger of their parties into a new alliance called 'Together'. The move aims to unite a fragmented opposition and increase their chances of defeating Netanyahu's coalition government. Bennett and Lapid made the announcement in a joint televised statement. Polls suggest Netanyahu's Likud party remains competitive, though support has weakened since the October 2023 attacks and subsequent conflicts. Bennett said a future government would establish an inquiry into the events leading up to those attacks.
