Bennett and Eizenkot Submit Lists Separately, Ending Unification Hopes
The submission of party lists to the Central Elections Committee at the Knesset began on Monday, with key political figures arriving separately. Gadi Eizenkot and Naftali Bennett submitted their lists individually, signaling the end of hopes for a unified political bloc between their parties. The deadline for list submissions is Tuesday at 10:00 PM.
Meanwhile, pressure continues on Ofer Winter, chairman of "Am Israel". His associates aim to submit his list on Monday to underscore its independence and preempt last-minute unification or alteration attempts. A potential alliance with Yaron Ze'likha has been ruled out, as Ze'likha joined forces with Yoaz Hendel on Sunday.
The Likud party is also experiencing internal drama regarding reserved spots on its electoral list. Following rejections of reserved seat offers, the party postponed a vote in its central committee on the matter until Tuesday, leaving open the possibility of changes to candidate placements.
