Bennett and Lapid form alliance against Netanyahu.

Le Monde

Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid are forming a new political group to challenge Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This alliance aims to remove Netanyahu from power. It follows a previous attempt to do so in 2021.

The new group, called ‘Samen’ or ‘Ensemble,’ is forming ahead of upcoming Israeli elections. Bennett and Lapid previously worked together in a government that ended Netanyahu’s long-term leadership in late 2022. They plan to run against Netanyahu and potentially change the direction of Israeli politics. The alliance includes a plan for an eight-year term limit and an investigation into the Hamas attack. This move represents a significant challenge to Netanyahu’s continued leadership.
