Former Beit Shemesh mayor Aliza Bloch has joined the new political party led by former minister and ambassador Gilad Erdan and Knesset member Yuli Edelstein. Bloch, an educator who served as mayor from 2018 to 2024, is expected to lead the party's social and education work and has said she aims to become Israel's next education minister. Erdan announced the party last week with Edelstein in the second position on its slate. The new right-wing list says it will seek a broad Zionist government and will not join a narrow coalition led by either political bloc.
