Naftali Bennett, chairman of the "Bayad" party, has not ruled out the possibility of forming a unity government that could include Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to a report by Channel 13. The report emerged after Bennett spoke with a leader of the "change bloc." While other bloc leaders like Avigdor Lieberman, Yair Golan, and Gadi Eisenkot have explicitly rejected any cooperation with Netanyahu, Bennett has refrained from doing so.
Earlier in the day, Bennett had reiterated his commitment to advancing a "servants' revolution" and expressed his expectation for a "Zionist government." However, he did not set a red line that would prevent a unity government with Netanyahu at this stage.
Bennett's stance could significantly impact ongoing coalition negotiations. The "change bloc" is simultaneously engaged in discussions with ultra-Orthodox parties. By keeping the option of a unity government with Netanyahu open, Bennett distinguishes himself from other bloc leaders who have taken a firm stance against such a partnership.
