In an interview with i24NEWS on Monday evening, former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett stated that Yair Lapid 'showed leadership' and 'put his ego aside' in the context of their merger. The interview — described as the first between the two since the start of the war — addressed Bennett's poll numbers, which have declined since the union. Bennett did not confirm the decline as a fact in the excerpt; rather, the question framed the topic. The exchange provides a window into the dynamics of the center-right political alliance as election season approaches.
