Four Yesh Atid Knesset members, including two founding party members, announced they will not run in the upcoming Israeli election as part of a joint slate with Naftali Bennett, though they said they would remain party members. The move comes as polling suggests the planned alliance with Bennett is underperforming. Party officials reportedly suggested Bennett should abandon his bid for prime minister and instead merge his effort with that of former military chief Gadi Eisenkot, reflecting broader turmoil among centrist and opposition parties ahead of the October 27 vote.
