According to a report by The Jerusalem Post on July 23, 2026, Israeli politician Yoaz Hendel stated that the new political alliance he formed with Hili Tropper is open to former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu joining, provided he adheres to Zionist principles.
Hendel, who previously led the Reservists party before merging it with Tropper's faction, emphasized that the alliance is not a personal vendetta against Netanyahu but a platform based on shared values. The two leaders will head the new alliance jointly.
The announcement comes amid ongoing political realignments in Israel, with various parties positioning themselves ahead of potential elections. Hendel's comments suggest a pragmatic approach to coalition-building, focusing on ideological alignment rather than personal rivalries.
