Bennett and Lapid Hold Emergency Meeting After Poll Drop

Amid a slump in polling and reports of internal splits, Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid held a joint meeting on Thursday with all Knesset members from Yesh Atid and Bennett’s candidates at the unified campaign headquarters in Ra’anana. The gathering was framed as a response to the recent decline in the polls and the growing talk of division inside the party bloc.

During the meeting, the list members were presented with the party’s planned strategy, its digital campaign setup, and additional campaign-related material. The session was meant to align the full slate behind a shared operational plan at the joint headquarters.

The article does not give details on decisions taken at the meeting, but it makes clear that the leadership brought the entire group together to address the setback and reinforce coordination. The move came after the poll crash reported by Channel 12, and amid briefings about a possible internal split.
