Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yisrael party, and Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of Yisrael Beiteinu, met on Tuesday to coordinate their efforts ahead of the upcoming Knesset elections on October 27, 2026. The meeting followed public disagreements between the two leaders on social media.
In a joint statement, the parties announced they had agreed to focus on increasing voter turnout and encouraging support for one of four parties they refer to as the "servants' bloc." They also agreed to discourage votes for lists that are unlikely to pass the electoral threshold.
The leaders committed to continuing their cooperation to achieve victory and replace the current government. The meeting, held less than a week before the elections, emphasized the agreements reached on boosting participation and preventing wasted votes.
This collaboration aims to consolidate support for smaller parties within their bloc and ensure that votes are cast effectively, rather than being lost to parties that do not meet the minimum requirement to enter the Knesset.
