Bennett Unveils Knesset List for "Fixing Israel" Party

Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, chairman of the "Be Yahad" party, revealed his slate of candidates for the upcoming October 27 parliamentary elections. The "Be Yahad" list will be integrated with candidates from the "Yesh Atid" party, whose positions were announced by Yair Lapid the previous day. Bennett himself is listed first, followed by Lapid, with Keren Turner, former minister of finance and transportation, taking the third spot.

Other notable "Be Yahad" candidates include Liran Avissar Ben-Horin, former director-general of the Ministry of Communications, placed after Merav Ben-Ari from "Yesh Atid." Major General (res.) Noam Tivon is followed by Michal Negri, former director-general of the Raanana municipality, and then Knesset Member Eitan Ginzburg, former mayor of Raanana. The top ten is rounded out by 23-year-old Yonatan Shalev, founder of the "Katef el-Katef" organization, who could become the youngest MK in Israeli history if elected.

Bennett stated that the list represents "people of action" dedicated to "fixing the State of Israel." He described the slate as the "best and most effective list" to participate in Knesset elections in a generation, emphasizing the candidates' ability to work "hard, fast, and at the highest level" to lead significant changes. The full combined list includes 28 candidates, with Olesya Kantor positioned at number 26.
