Israel's political system is entering one of the most tense phases of the election campaign. While parties are forming candidate lists, a new scenario is emerging behind the scenes: a possible rapprochement between Avigdor Lieberman, Ofer Winter, and Naftali Bennett. According to information from political circles, this could involve the formation of a broader structure capable of influencing the creation of a future coalition. The author notes that this scenario is causing concern for Benjamin Netanyahu and Gadi Eisenkot. Netanyahu is forming his own list, trying to close vulnerable spots. It includes representatives of security forces, reservists, relatives of the fallen, and people connected to the events of the war. Among the new figures are IDF veteran Elisha Medan, mother of the fallen Ran Gueli Talit Gueli, Itzik Buntzel – father of the fallen Amit Buntzel, lawyers Yaakov Bardugo and David Peter, and former brigadier general Amir Avivi. The author believes that one of Netanyahu's main mistakes was that forces associated with Winter decided to go their own way. This refers to Yosef Haddad and TV presenter Neteli Shem-Tov. The question of how far Winter's project will advance remains open. If Lieberman, Winter, and Bennett begin to act in concert, they could gain the ability to influence the formation of a future government.
