Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid published their merged 'B'Yachad' (Together) party slate for the October Knesset elections, according to Israeli media. Bennett heads the 20-candidate list, with Lapid in second place, followed by Keren Turner and Merav Ben Ari.
The B'Yachad list, officially announced Sunday afternoon, merges Bennett's party with Yair Lapid's Yesh Atid. The top four slots are: Bennett, Lapid, former director-general Keren Turner, and former MK Merav Ben Ari. Other notable candidates include Liran Avishar Ben-Horin at 5, Noam Tibon at 6, and Eitan Ginzburg at 8. The list also includes former MK Vladimir Beliak at 16 and Orly Harel at 17.
As The Zioneer reported earlier, Bennett's polling has declined in recent weeks, reaching as low as 6 seats in some surveys. The joint list with Lapid is intended to consolidate the center-right vote ahead of the October elections.
