Chili Tropper and Yoaz Hendel Announce Joint Election Run Emphasizing Unity Over Division

Chili Tropper, Yoaz Hendel, Shira Shapira, and Elisaf Peretz held a joint press conference following their announcement to run together in the upcoming elections. Tropper emphasized the need for a fresh approach, describing their group as a precise blend of experience and innovation. He stressed that they reject the destructive hatred, ego battles, and divisions that have plagued Israeli politics. "We are not more important than you; we are your representatives, and we need you with us on this journey," Tropper said.

Reflecting on the aftermath of the October 7 massacre, Tropper noted that it seemed many had realized the futility of division and hatred. However, while many, including himself, remained committed to unity, others moved on. The group’s message centers on overcoming past grievances and focusing on collective progress rather than personal or factional conflicts.
