Yashar party leader Gadi Eisenkot has called on opposition leaders to convene in an effort to secure what he describes as a 'Zionist' majority in the next election. His appeal includes former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Opposition Leader Yair Lapid, who recently announced their joint slate called 'Together.' Bennett has publicly invited Eisenkot to join the alliance.

According to a statement from Yashar, Eisenkot is reaching out to all 'Zionist' opposition parties, including Avigdor Liberman's Yisrael Beytenu and Yair Golan's the Democrats, to coordinate efforts ahead of the vote. Notably absent from the invitation is Blue and White, led by Benny Gantz, whose split with Eisenkot last year led to the formation of Yashar. Gantz has signaled openness to joining a government led by Benjamin Netanyahu and has resisted being firmly aligned with the opposition bloc.

Arab-majority parties Hadash-Ta'al and Ra'am were also excluded. Several opposition figures have ruled out forming a government with Arab parties following the October 7, 2023, attacks. Despite the new Bennett-Lapid partnership, it remains uncertain whether the opposition can achieve a 61-seat parliamentary majority without Arab party support.
