Political commentator Mati Tuchfeld said in an interview that pressure is mounting on Yair Lapid to dissolve the union with Naftali Bennett, as poll data shows the same numbers as before the merger. Tuchfeld also addressed the strengthening of Gadi Eisenkot, pressure within the 'Together' party, and the battle in Likud over bylaw changes and slots.

Political commentator Mati Tuchfeld spoke with Gadi Nes on Radio North 104.5FM about the growing pressure on Yair Lapid to dissolve the union with Naftali Bennett. According to him, polls show that the united 'Together' party receives the same numbers as before the merger, raising questions about the union's viability. Tuchfeld mentioned Gadi Eisenkot's remarks that a party with 8-9 seats cannot demand the premiership, and called for aligning behind the leader of the largest party. He also addressed the battle in Likud over bylaw changes and slots, noting that Netanyahu got what he wanted by a large majority, but a certain clause passed by a narrow margin of only five votes due to a deal with Haim Katz.
