Israeli opposition leaders form working teams to coordinate campaign, 'win the election'
The meeting brought together the four main party leaders in the bloc: Gadi Eisenkot (Yashar), Naftali Bennett (B’Yachad), Avigdor Liberman (Yisrael Beytenu), and Yair Golan (The Democrats).
Opposition leaders aiming to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have announced the formation of three working teams to coordinate their campaign efforts and prepare for the October elections. This decision came following a meeting on Saturday evening where the party leaders signed a document outlining shared principles and their commitment to collaborate ahead of the elections.
The leaders in the bloc, including Gadi Eisenkot (Yashar), Naftali Bennett (B’Yachad), Avigdor Liberman (Yisrael Beytenu), and Yair Golan (The Democrats), each contributed to the formation of a working team comprising candidates from all four parties. The party leaders emphasized that these teams would play a crucial role in helping them secure victory in the upcoming elections.
The first team would concentrate on boosting voter turnout, preparing for Election Day, and ensuring the integrity of the electoral process. The second team would focus on developing the guiding principles of the next government and outlining an action plan for the first 100 days in office. Lastly, the third team would oversee media coordination and counter false information and smear campaigns aimed at the coalition.
In a joint statement, the party leaders expressed their responsibility to establish a Zionist, statesmanlike government that would restore security, prosperity, and hope to Israelis, emphasizing their commitment to overcoming years of internal polarization, political lies, failures, and a loss of trust.
