Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and opposition leader Yair Lapid announced Sunday they will run on a joint list in this year's elections.

During the televised statement, Lapid said: "Bennett is a right-wing politician, but an honest one, and there is trust between them." Bennett said that if elected, he would establish a national commission of inquiry into the failures leading up to the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack, something the current Netanyahu government has rejected. Netanyahu plans to lead his party's list in the general election that must be held no later than the end of October.
