Opposition in Netanyahu's camp delays PM candidate choice
The article relates to theAgreement of the leaders of the Israeli opposition parties to unify their ranks ahead of the Knesset elections scheduled for October 27, 2026, with the candidate for Prime Minister's position postponed until the voting results are clear. The leaders, including Naftali Bennett, Yair Lapid, Avigdor Lieberman, and Gadi Eizenkot, have drafted a principles document that includes halting mutual attacks, increasing voter turnout, broadening the coalition base, and collaborating to form a new government, with a commitment not to discuss the presidential candidate until after the elections. The aim of the agreement is to increase the chances of the opposition camp securing a comfortable majority and to unify electoral efforts, amid expectations that the competition with Netanyahu's camp will continue, which has shown relatively weak poll support for achieving an outright majority.
