A source close to Naftali Bennett's Yachad party says the alliance with Prime Minister Yair Lapid and strategist Lior Chorev is failing, calling it a 'colossal political mistake' that is splitting the party. The source told Michael Shemesh that the partnership is eroding the Joint List and that there is interest in cutting losses.
A source close to Naftali Bennett's Yachad party leveled sharp criticism at the party's current political strategy, telling journalist Michael Shemesh that the partnership with Prime Minister Yair Lapid and strategist Lior Chorev is a 'colossal political mistake.' The source said the alliance is failing and has caused the Joint List to fracture, adding that there is growing interest within the party in cutting losses. The remarks come as polls show Yachad struggling to cross the electoral threshold; as The Zioneer reported on June 11, internal friction had already been reported within the party amid declining poll numbers. The specific timing of any potential leadership intervention or restructuring remains unclear.
