Bennett and Lapid Unveil Joint "Together" Party Knesset List

Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid have presented the joint Knesset list for their "Together" party, following Lapid's presentation the previous day. Bennett is listed first, with Lapid second. The agreement between their parties, Yesh Atid and Bennett's faction, allocates approximately 40% of the list's positions to Yesh Atid members. Lapid secured four spots in the top ten and five in the second ten.

Bennett highlighted that the list comprises individuals with proven track records in government and public service, ready to implement their reform plans immediately upon forming a government. He described the list as the most effective in a generation, emphasizing the need for hard-working, fast, and high-quality individuals to lead Israel's future.

Key figures from Bennett's side include former directors-general Keren Turner and Liran Avishar Ben-Horin, and former Ra'anana Municipality director Michal Negri. MK Eitan Ginzburg also features prominently. From Lapid's Yesh Atid party, MK Merav Ben-Ari leads their contingent, followed by retired Major General Noam Tibon, Merav Cohen, Ram Ben Barak, and Vladimir Belyak.

This joint list comes after several Yesh Atid Knesset members announced they would not seek re-election due to anticipated lower seat projections for the party. Notable departures include former Knesset Speaker Mickey Levy, Meir Cohen, and Karin Elharrar.
