Israeli Opposition Leaders Meet Ahead of Elections, Discuss Bloc Coordination
Five leaders of parties opposing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met at Yair Lapid's Tel Aviv home to coordinate their bloc's movements ahead of the October 27 elections. The leaders, Gadi Eisenkot, Naftali Bennett, Yair Golan, Avigdor Lieberman, and Lapid, discussed their joint strategy for election day. They issued a document outlining their understandings but did not name a candidate for prime minister, agreeing to address that issue after the elections.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Netanyahu continued his campaign, criticizing rival Gadi Eisenkot and emphasizing his own experience in international affairs and English-language communication. Netanyahu also focused on the Iranian nuclear threat.
In a separate development concerning the West Bank, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called for a broad military operation there, advocating for the dismantling of the Palestinian Authority and for the Israeli military to treat the West Bank as it did Gaza. Political analyst Nazir Majli discussed the elections and political landscape on Hala TV.
