Gadi Eisenkot, chairman of the Yisrael! party, and Avigdor Lieberman, chairman of Yisrael Beiteinu, met Tuesday to coordinate positions ahead of the upcoming elections and discuss their parties' preparations for election day. In a joint statement released after their meeting, both leaders emphasized that the primary effort at this stage is to increase voter turnout. They urged the public to vote for one of the four parties in the "servants' bloc" and to avoid casting ballots for parties unlikely to pass the electoral threshold. The two concluded their meeting by agreeing to continue their cooperation with the goal of achieving a bloc victory and replacing the current government in the elections scheduled for October 27, 2026. Despite the meeting, it is estimated that Eisenkot will not halt his party's large-scale campaign, which has caused tension with Lieberman, and further confrontation between them is considered inevitable.
