Former prime minister Naftali Bennett on Tuesday called to dissolve of the Knesset and outlined his plans for the country if elected, alongside opposition leader Yair Lapid, at the first major campaign event of their newly merged Together party ahead of elections expected no later than October.

Addressing thousands of supporters at a Tel Aviv expo, Bennett pledged that a future government led by the alliance would establish a constitution, reform Israel's education system, draft haredim (ultra-Orthodox) into the IDF, and "rebuild" the country in the aftermath of the October 7 attacks.
