Hili Trooper Plans Backup Alliance with Gadi Eizenkot if Union with Yoaz Hendel Fails

Hili Trooper has informed former Minister Yoaz Hendel that their political alliance is experimental and contingent on its success in polls. Trooper expects their united party to secure five seats, but if the partnership with Hendel does not gain traction, he plans to join forces with Gadi Eizenkot's "Yashar!" party. Trooper and Shira Shapira, who recently joined him, are guaranteed spots on Eizenkot's list, while Hendel does not hold a similar position. Trooper's team denied these claims, stating "there was nothing of the sort." Earlier, Trooper and Hendel announced the inclusion of Shira Shapira, mother of Israeli hero Enar Shapira, and Elisaf Peretz, brother of fallen soldiers Lt. Uriel Peretz and Major Aliraz Peretz, aiming to establish a broad Zionist government. This move is the first step toward creating a significant new Zionist political force. The alliance follows Hendel's failed negotiations with Blue and White leader Benny Gantz. Recently, Hendel held talks with Gantz, Dedi Simchi, and Trooper, which ultimately led to the current collaboration.
