Second-Decade Representatives

In the second decade of the joint list, Biyachad is represented by five additional candidates.

Shahar Varon, who was seriously wounded during combat operations in the Gaza Strip.

Bennett's Statement

Commenting on the list, Naftali Bennett stated:

"Following hard work and deep screening processes, we are presenting today the best team to repair the State of Israel. The compass I set before my eyes two years ago, when starting work on the Israel Repair Plan, is clearly reflected in our Knesset list—doers who know how to enter the Knesset and government ministries and fix things."

Bennett added that this is the most effective list to run for the Knesset in a generation, representing the existential need for Israel's future with individuals who work hard, fast, and with the highest quality.
