Peloni: See more HERE. Well, it would seem that the leader which once claimed to be ten steps to the Right of Bibi is now linking his future to the sinking hopes of Lapid under the party name of “Together”. I am only surprised that the name of their party is not “Together Againn” in reference to their previous gambit to do whatever was needed to unseat Bibi from power, something which they seem to hope to do once again…Together. Of course, they are leaving space for Gadi Eisenkot to join, but it seems that that the Ra’am leader has no such invitation being afforded to him, at least not til likely after the coming election. Does this gambit of reviving the anti-Bibi cabal have the potential of restoring a Left-Arab coalition to power in the first post October 7 national election? Time will tell of course.
On hear of the merger between Bennett and Lapid, Bibi posted the simple comment that: “They will do it again”

With the move, Bennett officially abandons the right wing by merging with Lapid’s Yesh Atid party. After failing to pull votes from Netanyahu’s camp, this is a survival move that left-wing candidates are applauding without realizing it comes at their expense.
Finance Minister Smotrich (@bezalelsm) dismissed the merger, saying he won’t tell the left how to divide its votes. Minister Miki Zohar (@zoharm7) mocked the pairing as ideologically hollow partners struggling to pass the electoral threshold.
