Defense Minister Benny Gantz, leader of the National Unity party, has finalized a surplus agreement with the Democratic party for the upcoming elections. This deal allows parties to gain additional seats if they receive a disproportionately high number of votes compared to their seat allocation. Meanwhile, Avigdor Liberman's Yisrael Beiteinu party is set to sign a similar agreement with the "Together" list, reportedly to appease Gantz's desire to be prime minister. Despite potential electoral shrinkage, a source within Yisrael Beiteinu expressed optimism, stating, "There is no reason for depression. In the end, these are 16 people who said in a poll they would vote for Handel or Winter." The article also touches upon unrelated topics including Republican efforts to distance themselves from Donald Trump, alleged Shas propaganda distributed by Tel Aviv municipality employees, and commentary on television shows and the education system.
