Likud

Zohar's remarks came even though Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government was already in power when the 2023 attacks occurred.

The bill, which would give ministers and the government far broader control, would apply to a long list of senior posts, including any post requiring government approval.

The party said the alliance was born out of the understanding that the faith-based nationalist public in Israel currently "needs a strong political home." 

According to the indictment, Netanyahu was involved in demands to delay the publication of an interview and to edit it before it was posted on the site.

Among opposition voters, 42.4% said Likud would receive 10-20 seats without Netanyahu, while 37.7% said it would fall below 10 seats. Only 8.3% said Likud could still reach 30 or more seats.

The unusual threat could shake up the list and push a significant number of ministers and MKs out of their positions.

“Avigdor Liberman is a true right-wing leader, and the only one in the political system who was not part of the conception," Sharabi said upon joining the party.

In last week's poll, conducted before the announcement of the Together Party, Bennett and Lapid together held 31 seats. Results of today's poll show a three-seat drop, leaving them at 28 seats.

The cultural tide has turned harder than the political class wants to admit, and it has turned in a direction Bennett’s new vehicle was not built to ride.

The initiative, informally described as “Likud B,” is being advanced by right-wing figures, many of whom have had strained relations with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
