Speaking at a conference of the Israel Democracy Institute, Opposition Leader Yair Lapid says: “It will take another two weeks, three weeks, maybe a little longer, before we announce that Gadi Eisenkot has joined us as well.”
Lapid recently joined with former prime minister Naftali Bennett to form the Together slate. The two have been pressuring Eisenkot, head of the Yashar party, to join them.
“Gadi is coming, the camp is uniting, just as the country needs to unite,” Lapid says.
