Yesh Atid

Rahm is not, he would say, I think, not anti-Zionist.

There's a former Yesh Atid Knesset member, we've spoken about this, who's running on the Rahm slate.

Make your counter-argument.

Go out there.

And

let's talk about what actually happened to help that along, which was unprecedented, which was that a former MK from Yesh Atid, which is a centrist party, Joab Segalovic, has joined this list.

So he hasn't joined the Iran party, but he's joined the list and he's running together as the number two, together with Mansour Abbas, which means that this is now... somehow even more digestible for people who are Zionist and people who are Jewish, because Joav Segalovic has said outrightly, you know, that he's Jewish, Zionist, secular.

He's an officer in the IDF.

And then you have, obviously, your national religious and national parties, national right wing, that's on the right.

And on the left, you have center and center-left parties, Yesh Atid, now they're running together, what are they called now? Beyahad, they're literally called together.

That's a center-left party.

And then you have your progressive left, the Democrat party.

And, you know, you're right that most Israelis are horrified and disgusted we're united on this, except for our Arab parties.

including the Arab party headed by Mansour Abbas, whose number two is an Israeli Jew, because Mansour Abbas is also Israeli, he's an Arab-Israeli, but he has his number two named Yoav Segalovich, who used to be a high official in the Israel police, who was, up until five minutes ago, basically in Yair Lapid's, in the opposition, in Yair Lapid's Yesh Atid party, which is considered centrist.

Of course, I consider it leftist, but never mind.

And so you're talking about parties that have not come out to condemn it at all.

... by October 7th.

When Ofer Winter presents his new right-wing party which is endorsing Bibi Netanyahu, who was prime minister on October 7th, he said, Winter says, "I will not cooperate with anybody who is stained, uh, by October 7th." So bottom line, whether you vote this way or the other way, these elections are supposed to be a reset of Israeli society and of Israeli agenda.

That doesn't mean that we know anything about what Yonit will say when the ballots close on 10:00 PM and she reports the exit polls.

Yeah.

So that was one step.

And then, then when he joined Benny Gantz, you could detect very early on that he's, he's not...

You know, y- you remember when he started to ask for primaries within the, uh, the par- party, and then when he left Benny Gantz, and then when he decided not to join forces with Bennett.

So you could see that there is a politician there.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking another term in office, but with opposition parties gaining momentum, he's facing mounting pressure.

Our report examines why Netanyahu's coalition is struggling and what's driving the rise of the opposition party, Yesh Atid.

[singing]

This is Gadi Eizenkot, the party's leader.

Correct.

Now, what happened with his party is that a senior former police, a high official in the Israel police named Sigalovich, who was in Yair Lapid's up until just two weeks ago or something, was a member of Yair Lapid's Yesh Atid party, which was, by the way, the head of the opposition.

Nobody can remember that because he kind of disappeared and he kind of became a...

He went into oblivion, but actually he was the second largest party in the Knesset after Netanyahu's Likud party.
