Naftali Bennett has released the full candidate list for his 'Together' (Beyachad) party, a slate he determined personally without primaries. The top spots behind Bennett are held by three former government and municipal directors-general, with former MK Eitan Ginzburg in fifth place.
As The Zioneer reported earlier today (Sunday, 15:44 Jerusalem), Bennett's 'Together' party released its full 20-candidate Knesset slate. Additional details confirm the composition: the top three spots behind Bennett are held by Keren Turner, Liran Avishar Ben Horin, and Michal Negri — all former directors-general of government ministries or the Ra'anana municipality — with former MK Eitan Ginzburg in fifth place. The list was compiled solely by Bennett without primaries.
The release follows a series of reports tracking the list's evolution. On Wednesday, August 5, Haaretz reported that Ginzburg had been promised a realistic spot. Earlier this Sunday at 09:20 Jerusalem, The Zioneer cited N12 reporting that approximately 40% of Bennett's list was drawn from Yesh Atid personnel. The final slate notably excludes Yair Lapid, who had been reported in the second slot earlier today, marking a departure from the joint ticket previously unveiled by Bennett and Lapid.
The opposition landscape is shifting. As The Zioneer reported Sunday at 09:20, Avigdor Liberman's Yisrael Beiteinu presented its own slate incorporating MK Dan Illouz, who recently left Likud. Bennett's party, polling at 6 seats per The Zioneer's September 2 update, faces competition from Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar party, which has overtaken Bennett as the leading opposition candidate.
The full list is now published and confirmed; no further details remain unverified.
