A meeting between representatives of the Likud and Yashar parties is underway at the Dan Accadia Hotel in Herzliya. The parties are reportedly discussing potential cooperation. Representing the Yashar party are MK Hili Tropper and Yoav Horowitz, former head of Netanyahu's administration and advisor to the Yashar party leader. The Likud faction is represented by its head, Ofir Katz, and advocate Michael Rabello. Shalom Shlomo, a representative for Bennett and former secretary of the Lapid-Bennett government in 2021, joined the meeting shortly before it began.
This initial meeting is not expected to yield significant breakthroughs. Some within the "change bloc" have expressed reservations about the meeting. Yair Golan, head of the Democrats party, stated that the "change bloc" should initiate a change in the rules of the game. He advocated for meeting with Arab party leaders to explore cooperation based on shared interests, rather than allowing Netanyahu and his "poison machine" to dictate legitimacy. Golan asserted that the path to change does not lie in unity talks with Netanyahu and the Likud, whom he holds responsible for the October 7th massacre, the judicial overhaul, and the destruction of the rule of law. He urged listening to the voters' will instead of succumbing to Netanyahu's racist rhetoric.
