Lieberman and Bennett Form Election Alliance Ahead of Vote

Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beiteinu party and Naftali Bennett's "Bayahad" list have agreed to sign a surplus vote agreement for the upcoming elections. The announcement came from both parties, signaling a joint effort as the deadline for list submissions passed.

This agreement allows the two parties to pool their surplus votes, potentially increasing their chances of winning additional Knesset seats. Surplus vote agreements are common in Israeli elections, enabling smaller parties to maximize their representation by transferring unused votes to a partner party that has a better chance of securing seats beyond its initial allocation.
