Bennett and Lapid unite, but does it change anything?  
On Sunday, without any prior warning, Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid announced they’re joining forces, launching a new unified party called “Beyachad” — “together.” The move comes months ahead of Israel’s October elections, and it immediately raises more questions than answers.
What are they really trying to accomplish? Does this strengthen the anti-Netanyahu bloc — or unintentionally weaken it? And what does it mean for Gadi Eisenkot, who leads the other centrist party and is being pressured by Bennett to join him and Lapid?
This is already shaping up to be one of the most dramatic election cycles in Israel’s history — and one the Jewish diaspora will be watching more closely than ever.
In this episode:
- Bennett and Lapid's history
- Bennett's theory of the race
- The role of the war in the elections
- Structural strengths and weaknesses of both blocks
- Gadi Eisenkot's next move
- Avigdor Lieberman's strategy
