Welcomed Together merger; National Unity remains a separate party
Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid—the two former Israeli prime ministers who briefly removed Benjamin Netanyahu from power in 2021—announced on April 26 the merger of their parties into a single slate called 'Together, Led by Bennett.' Netanyahu responded within hours with an inflammatory video on social media showing the pair's 2021 coalition-signing ceremony alongside Arab party leader Mansour Abbas, captioned 'They did it once, they will do it again'—framing a future government dependent on Arab parties as an inevitable consequence of any Bennett-Lapid win.
