Netanyahu faces united challenge as rivals form BeYachad over military conscription

The pact targets who serves and how much

Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid have formed the joint party BeYachad to challenge Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of upcoming elections. While their campaign focuses largely on domestic priorities, the biggest fault line could be military conscription rules. As the rivals coordinate their message, voters may see a potential shift in how Israel balances security needs with political and social pressures.
