In a recent report by Channel 12’s Dafna Liel, it was revealed that Yisrael Beytenu chairman MK Avigdor Liberman offered United Right chairman MK Gideon Sa’ar a proposal to merge their two opposition parties. The proposal included giving Sa’ar two spots out of every 10 on the merged party’s list, with the condition that Sa’ar’s party cease to exist independently. Sa’ar agreed, provided that enough players join to challenge Likud’s dominance in Israel’s right-wing camps. The negotiations also included the possibility of a primary election for the party list.
While Sa’ar confirmed meeting with Liberman, he denied the specifics of the negotiations, focusing instead on “issues of principle” and emphasizing the need for a broad unity government. Despite growing calls for Sa’ar to join the government, he has not rejected the idea but is yet to receive an offer from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Rumors of a unification of non-Likud right-wing politicians have been circulating, but uncertainties remain about the outcome.
As the political landscape in Israel continues to evolve, the potential merger of these opposition parties could shake up the current status quo and pave the way for a more unified approach in Israeli politics.
