Together (Bennett + Yesh Atid)

At the launch of the Together slate, Bennett pledged to establish a state commission of inquiry on the government's first day, and Lapid again pledged to establish one within its first month. Their use of the legal term “state commission of inquiry,” alongside their rejection of the political alternative, supports the mechanism prescribed by law.

Lapid pledged to continue upholding the rule of law, and Bennett condemned the disruption of the State Comptroller selection following a High Court of Justice ruling. These are recent statements by both leaders of the slate, but they concern compliance with a specific ruling and do not resolve whether judicial review of the government or the Knesset should be curtailed. No overall position is therefore inferred.

Bennett pledged to make a limit of two terms or eight years a condition for joining a government. Yesh Atid was a central component of the government that advanced the proposal and passed it at first reading. Together, these records cover both components of the slate.

Bennett and Lapid criticized the allocation of coalition funds in the 2026 budget as it occurred. None of the documents reviewed contains a pledge by either leader to abolish all such allocations permanently.

All 24 Yesh Atid members voted against the law, providing direct and strong evidence for the Lapid component. Bennett and his future component were not part of the parliamentary group in that vote, and no precise parallel source was found for them.

Lapid proposed making Egypt the leading force in Gaza after Hamas, in the direction described by the statement. No detailed joint Bennett-Lapid plan for reconstruction and civilian governance was found.

Bennett explicitly said that the IDF should remain in Gaza for years to come, directly supporting a long-term security presence. No detailed joint position by both components of the slate was found, however, on control of the borders and freedom of action together.

Bennett defines a Palestinian state as a red line and opposes it categorically. Lapid rules out a state in the short term but does not foreclose a future horizon. The slate is not currently advancing this course, and its two components differ.

Bennett said in June 2026 that Area C would ultimately be part of the State of Israel; this is a current sovereignty objective, but without a legislative mechanism or timetable. Lapid said in May 2026 that an Israeli government should not take irreversible steps in the West Bank, without explicitly mentioning Area C. The current positions of the slate's two components point in opposite directions on the statement, and no joint position has been published.

Bennett recently supported women serving in combat roles and decisions based on professional suitability, while Yesh Atid promotes equal opportunity for women in the IDF and opening roles according to ability. A detailed joint platform has not yet been published.

Both components of Together converge against renewed Gaza settlement: in July 2026 Bennett rejected territorial ambitions and building cities in the Strip, while Lapid and Yesh Atid explicitly condemned the Gaza-settlement conference and initiative. Confidence is medium because no new joint platform clause uses this exact wording.

Yesh Atid as a whole voted against the death-penalty law in 2026, whereas Bennett had previously expressly supported the death penalty for perpetrators of murder in a terrorist context, whether Jewish or Palestinian. The slate has no shared position; the age of the Bennett evidence limits confidence to medium.

At the launch of the joint slate, Bennett and Lapid pledged to pass a universal-service law. This is a current commitment by the slate itself on precisely this issue.

Bennett and Lapid pledged to stop funding non-service while passing a universal-service law. This is a current formulation of an individual or institutional economic sanction for failure to serve.

After the joint slate was formed, Bennett stated that he supports marriage for anyone who wants it. Together with Yesh Atid's position, this provides a direct and current basis for the slate's position.

Both components of the slate oppose the law: every Yesh Atid member voted against it, and Naftali Bennett pledged that his government would repeal it.

Bennett explicitly said that every city should be allowed to decide whether to operate public transport on Shabbat; this is also Yesh Atid's platform position.

In June 2026, Bennett set an explicit condition: a publicly funded school must teach the core curriculum.

Yesh Atid expressly pledges to enact a Basic Law: Equality and enshrine a prohibition on discrimination in it. The previous contrary evidence concerned Ayelet Shaked and Yamina, neither of which is a component of the present Together slate. No joint decision or precise Bennett position was found, so support is retained at medium confidence only.

Bennett pledged that the government would rely only on Zionist parties, while in 2026 Lapid defended the legitimacy of partnership with Ra'am and had previously signed a coalition agreement with it. No joint position has been published.

Together's current economic plan funds the expansion and improvement of services through cuts to political spending, competition, and tax reductions—not by raising taxes on high earners. It contains no separate high-earner tax provision.

Yesh Atid initiated a proposal to extend price controls to a healthy-food basket, while Bennett expressly opposed adding products to price controls and preferred competition. The new slate has not published a joint decision.

In June 2026, Together's chair presented a plan to open the fruit and vegetable market to imports and abolish tariffs, alongside direct financial support for farmers. Its principal mechanism is the same as the statement's, and assistance to farmers does not negate the opening to imports.

The Bennett-Lapid government adopted an employment-or-study test for both parents, and every participating Yesh Atid member voted in 2026 against a test based only on the mother's employment. Both components of the slate support examining the father's status as well.

Every Yesh Atid member who participated in the final vote opposed raising the VAT-exemption ceiling to $130. This action concerns the statement's exact threshold and mechanism, but no position was found for the Bennett component and Together has issued no joint decision; confidence is therefore medium.

Both components of the slate are represented in support of the tool: Naftali Bennett supported rare and cautious use of administrative detention against Jewish and Palestinian terrorists, while Yesh Atid's Elazar Stern opposed removing the tool for preventing Jewish terrorism. As of the review date, Stern was still officially identified as a Yesh Atid member; reports of a future move were conditional and did not materialize.

In 2022, Yamina and Yesh Atid led and supported legislation that preserved the blanket prohibition, with limited exceptions. No explicit change was found in the new slate.

In July 2026, Lapid pledged to pass a ban on conversion therapy for minors; Yesh Atid's Yorai Lahav-Hertzanu initiated the bill, and Bennett's camp expressed support for the legislative package. The coverage is current and direct.

Bennett's current plan defines crime as a security threat and makes a cabinet, the Shin Bet, and security tools central to the response. The slate has not yet published a detailed joint plan.

The Bennett-Lapid government enacted the congestion charge and linked its revenue to additional public-transport funding. Both components of the slate participated in the action, and no later joint position contradicting it was found.
