Israel's far-right Naftali Bennett and centrist opposition leader Yair Lapid have announced that they will resume the alliance that last toppled Benjamin Netanyahu's government in 2021, which at the time ended the latter's 12-year hold on the country's leadership.
Speaking in Herzliya on Sunday, both former prime ministers addressed the waiting press pack from identical podiums, with Bennett telling reporters, "Tonight, we are uniting and establishing the 'Together' party under my leadership, a party that will lead to a great victory, and the opening of a new era for our beloved country."
