Israeli Opposition Leaders Unite Behind Pact to Unseat Netanyahu in October Election
The leaders agreed to cooperate through the vote and formed three working groups on turnout, policy, and communications.
- On Saturday, opposition leaders signed a joint declaration to cease internal attacks and coordinate efforts to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of October elections.
- Internal tensions flared within the bloc after party figures criticized strategy, with MK Oded Forer claiming Yashar chairman Gadi Eisenkot was "fueling Bibi's campaign" last week.
- Under the new agreement, parties will establish three joint working groups within 48 hours to manage communications, voter turnout, and policy guidelines while upholding the deal "in both letter and spirit."
- Former Prime Minister and Together party leader Naftali Bennett expressed confidence in the bloc's "ability to win 63 seats," while polling shows the coalition bloc at 49 and the opposition bloc at 55.
- Despite the agreement, unresolved challenges remain, including the exclusion of Arab party leaders and disagreements over the prime ministerial candidate, as the document avoids addressing leadership succession.
