Gadi Eisenkot, leader of the Yashar party and former IDF chief of staff, has declined repeated invitations from Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid to merge his list into their Together (Beyachad) alliance ahead of Israel's October 27, 2026, elections. Recent polls show Yashar gaining ground and tying or surpassing Likud, while the Bennett-Lapid slate has slipped, strengthening Eisenkot's independent leverage and his preference for a broader "Zionist majority" coalition that avoids reliance on Arab parties. Eisenkot proposed a three-way "super-party" before the May merger announcement but was not consulted in advance; he has since criticized the move as fragmenting the opposition. Lapid publicly predicted a joining announcement in June, yet no agreement has materialized, leaving the number-two slot reserved but unclaimed as negotiations stall over list positions and strategic direction.
