**Gadi Eisenkot’s Yashar party and the Bennett-Lapid Together alliance have operated as separate centrist lists ahead of the October 27, 2026 Knesset election.** Eisenkot rejected earlier invitations to join a unified opposition slate, preferring to head his own ticket rather than accept a subordinate position. Polling throughout 2026 has consistently shown the two running independently, with Yashar frequently leading or competitive with Likud while Together trails, and merged scenarios indicating potential seat losses from voter defections or indecision. No joint statements, agreements, or list negotiations have been reported in recent weeks. With final candidate lists due to the Central Elections Committee by September 8, the absence of any merger announcement reinforces trader expectations that the parties will submit separate slates.
