Knesset member Gadi Eisenkot from the National Unity party is working to establish a large electoral bloc uniting his party with Yesh Atid, as reported by Haaretz . Political sources state that Eisenkot aims to undermine former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, who is gaining popularity in polls and attracting votes from the center-left bloc. Lapid and Eisenkot have held several discussions on the matter, and the head of Yesh Atid does not rule out the possibility of running in the bloc led by the former Chief of Staff. “They are not making agreements yet, but it is clear to everyone that Eisenkot is determined not to be a second-rate MK without influence in the next elections,” the report claimed.

Gadi Eisenkot and Yesh Atid declined to comment on these matters.
