Gadi Eisenkot's independent Yashar party has strengthened its polling position ahead of Israel's October 27, 2026 elections, reducing pressure to merge into the Bennett-Lapid Together alliance formed in late April. Bennett and Lapid announced their unified list under Bennett's leadership and publicly invited Eisenkot to join, offering a high slot on the ticket, yet Eisenkot criticized the surprise timing of the announcement after months of separate merger talks aimed at a broader centrist bloc. Subsequent statements from Lapid in early June projected a near-term joining, but Eisenkot has instead emphasized a "Zionist majority" approach, convened separate opposition coordination, and explored contingency paths including potential minority government scenarios while maintaining distance from commitments on Arab party inclusion. Recent polling averages show Yashar competing directly with Likud and ahead of Together in some surveys, highlighting leadership competition within the anti-Netanyahu camp as a key variable for any alliance decision.
