Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has stated in a closed conversation with leaders of the "Change Bloc" that he refuses to abandon the idea of unity, even if it includes Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Bennett's remarks were made during a private discussion with heads of the bloc, which is a coalition of parties opposed to Netanyahu's Likud party. The former premier's stance suggests a potential willingness to bridge divides within the opposition, a move that could have significant implications for the Israeli political landscape. The "Change Bloc" has been a key force in opposing the current government, and any internal shifts could impact their strategy. Bennett's party has reportedly reacted sharply to his comments, though the specifics of this reaction were not detailed in the report. The context of these discussions points to ongoing efforts to consolidate opposition forces ahead of future political developments.
