Two former Israeli prime ministers have announced they are joining forces to challenge Benjamin Netanyahu in the country’s upcoming general election, according to multiple local media reports.
The political move, reported by outlets including Hong Kong’s RTHK, Sing Tao, and HK01, signals a significant shift in Israel’s opposition landscape as the two leaders aim to unseat the long-serving premier.
While the specific names of the former premiers were not directly stated in the reports, the collaboration is described as a direct effort to defeat Netanyahu’s governing coalition in the election expected later this year.
The development comes amid ongoing political fragmentation in Israel, where recent elections have produced unstable governing coalitions and frequent calls for latest votes.
Analysts note that a unified opposition bloc could potentially alter the electoral dynamics, particularly if it succeeds in consolidating anti-Netanyahu voters across the political spectrum.
No immediate response from Netanyahu’s office or Likud party was included in the reports covering the announcement.
