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 the Yesh Atid party after 11 years about two weeks ago. In an interview on the program "Meet the Press" following his exit, Stern revealed that despite outward appearances of alignment with Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid, they often had disagreements. He 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 with Eizenkot's new political venture. The development was reported by Amit Segal for N12 on August 24, 2026.
