Two Israeli political heavyweights, Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid, have joined forces to unseat Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in upcoming elections. They plan to merge their parties into a single faction headed by Bennett. The new government would establish a state commission of inquiry into the Hamas-led October 7, 2023 attack on southern Israel on its first day if elected. Bennett and Lapid served as prime ministers in a rotation agreement in 2021, ending 12 years of Netanyahu's rule.
