Bennett's B'Yachad party releases list of candidates ahead of full Knesset slate reveal
Yair Lapid's Yesh Atid party is running on a joint list with Bennett, and the final list will include a merger between the two parties' members, pending an agreement on their placements.
Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett announced on Sunday the selection of candidates for his B Yachad party's Knesset slate, ahead of the upcoming October elections. B Yachad is a coalition between Bennett's party and opposition leader Yair Lapid's Yesh Atid Party. The full slate will be revealed on Sunday evening at an event in Tel Aviv.
Lapid will be the second candidate on the combined list, followed by three women who previously held high-ranking positions in the public sector. Keren Terner, former director-general of the Communications Ministry, will be third, and Liran Avisar Ben Horin, who served in the Finance and Transportation Ministries, will be fourth.
Yesh Atid MK Meirav Ben-Ari will occupy the second slot on Lapid's slate. Bennett's slate includes a 23-year-old candidate, Yonathan Shalev, who would become Israel's youngest lawmaker if elected. Shalev aims to represent the younger generation and aid in shaping the country's future after the 2023 Hamas attacks. Bennett emphasized that this slate represents the best team to repair Israel and is the most effective list in the past generation, reflecting the nation's need for hardworking and highly capable individuals.
Additionally, nine active reservists are part of the B Yachad slate. Parties have until Tuesday to submit their party lists, providing the final opportunity to form alliances before the elections.
