Five Israeli opposition leaders met at Yair Lapid’s home and published a joint document pledging coordinated election efforts aimed at replacing Benjamin Netanyahu’s government in the Oct. 27 vote. The group — Lapid, Gadi Eisenkot, Naftali Bennett, Avigdor Lieberman and Yair Golan — agreed not to attack partner parties, to boost turnout, and to form three working groups on turnout and election integrity, a government platform including a 100-day plan and institutional changes, and media coordination to counter alleged fake news. The pact could boost the opposition’s chance to secure a parliamentary majority.
