Aliza Bloch Signals Possible Alliance with New Center-Right Political List Ahead of Elections

Aliza Bloch, former mayor of Beit Shemesh, publicly endorsed the newly formed center-right political alliance, praising its members for choosing unity and constructive action over division. Bloch congratulated MK Hili Tropper, Yoaz Hendel, and Shira Shapira on their decision to unite and focus on advancing Israeli society. Her statement emphasized the importance of political and social cohesion at this critical time and rejected the culture of boycotts and disqualifications.

This endorsement comes just two days after Bloch announced her intention to run in the upcoming Knesset elections, marking her first foray into national politics with a declared focus on the education portfolio. Although she mentioned ongoing negotiations with several platforms, her warm public support for the new list, which includes Tropper, Hendel, Shapira, and reserve soldier and educator Alisaf Peretz, suggests a possible political home for her.

The new list was officially launched earlier with Tropper and Hendel announcing a joint run, joined by Shira Shapira, mother of the late Enar Shapira, and Alisaf Peretz, son of Miriam Peretz. The founders aim to establish a broad Zionist government. Whether Bloch will formally join this alliance remains to be seen as the election campaign unfolds.
