Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett officially filed paperwork on Tuesday to register a new political party, currently listed under the provisional title “Bennett 2026.”
A spokesperson on Bennett’s behalf clarified, “if and when it is decided to actually run in the elections, an announcement will be made on the matter.”
Bennett appears to be laying the groundwork for a return to the political arena, targeting the upcoming Knesset elections. He has already begun forming a strategic team of advisors to guide his potential campaign. Recent internal polling, which shows his prospective party securing over 20 Knesset seats—primarily drawing support from the center-left—has further bolstered his efforts.
Reacting to the development, Opposition Leader Yair Lapid remarked, “Congratulations to Naftali Bennett on establishing his new party. Israel needs a good government.”
National Unity chairman Benny Gantz also offered his well-wishes, stating, “Congratulations to Naftali Bennett on registering the new party and best of luck to him.”
