Former Minister Elazar Stern Joins Gadi Eizenkot's Yashar Party After Leaving Yesh Atid

Elazar Stern, a former Israeli minister, has joined the Yashar party led by Gadi Eizenkot. Stern announced his departure from Yesh Atid after 11 years about two weeks ago. In a recent interview on the program "Meet the Press," Stern revealed that despite outward appearances of alignment with Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid, they often had disagreements. Stern stated, "Lapid has known me for many years and knows that I did not always agree with him." This move marks a significant shift in Stern's political career as he aligns himself with Eizenkot's party, signaling potential new directions ahead.
