Retired IDF Major-General Noam Tibon, a candidate on Naftali Bennett's B'Yachad slate, told The Jerusalem Post that Bennett can "fix Israel after the chaos of October 7." Tibon, who received the sixth spot on the slate, spoke at B'Yachad's Knesset slate unveiling in Tel Aviv on Sunday. Recent polls project B'Yachad to win around 15 seats. Tibon served in the IDF for 35 years in senior command positions specializing in counterterrorism. During the October 7 massacre, he drove to Kibbutz Nahal Oz and rescued residents. He said his first priority is to "bring security back to the people in the North [and] to the people in the South" and to "bring a new doctrine to Israeli security." He stated Israel needs "a much bigger army" and must recruit the ultra-Orthodox, adding that "everyone who will not serve will not get a shekel from the state of Israel." Tibon also said B'Yachad would work to fix education and "shut down the poison machine."
