Political Shift: Orly Harel Leaves Likud for Naftali Bennett's Party

In the shadow of growing tension in the political system and sharp criticism against the government, an interesting shift has been recorded on the right side of the map. Attorney Orly Harel, previously considered a leading figure and a central activist in the Likud movement, has announced she is joining the "Bechad" party, led by former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.

The transition of Attorney Orly Harel is not a trivial matter. In her political past, Harel was one of the most active and well-known figures in the Likud movement and even stood behind the establishment of the "Likud Women of Jerusalem" forum. Beyond her political work, she brings with her a rich background as a social activist, singer, and entrepreneur in the fields of medicine and generative artificial intelligence.

Now, she has chosen to move her political center of gravity to the "Bechad" party, where she will serve as head of the women's headquarters and will be included in the list for the Knesset. Party chairman Naftali Bennett welcomed the move, clarifying that it is part of a broad effort to build an alternative that he says will bring about a correction in the country.

"The correction team of the State of Israel receives a significant boost with the addition of Orly, a woman of action of the first order. We decided to add the best of the best in order to lead a real change. Together we will correct," said Naftali Bennett.

Harel's joining of Bennett's party highlights the changing dynamics in the Israeli right ahead of the elections. While the tension between Bennett and the Likud party continues to deepen, the transitions of field personnel and key activists may signal a trend of searching for a new political home for figures who were until now identified with the ruling party. Time will tell whether this is a one-time event or the beginning of another wave of transitions to the "Bechad" party.
