Bennett Unveils Election List, Vows to Confront Qatar, Hamas, Hezbollah

Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett announced the final candidate list for the "Achim La'Achut" (Brothers for Each Other) alliance on Sunday evening. The alliance includes his own party and Yair Lapid's Yesh Atid party, following weeks of negotiations over the list's composition and candidate placements.

During the list unveiling ceremony, Bennett stated that the alliance deliberately avoided prominent celebrities or famous figures. He emphasized that candidates were chosen based on their ability to work effectively and resist external pressures. "The criteria for selecting the list members were clear: I saw a government working against its citizens, and I realized that everything must be the opposite," Bennett explained. "For this to succeed, we chose people who are driven to achieve the goal, who do not succumb to any pressure, on the path to reforming the state. The first reform has been accomplished."

Bennett also criticized the current government, pledging to immediately declare Qatar an enemy state and expel its representatives. He further vowed to disarm Hamas and Hezbollah, and to revive the "octopus doctrine" against Iran, stating, "What was will no longer be."
