Democrats party leader Yair Golan called on Yashar party leader Gadi Eisenkot to unite with him or with the Yachad party of Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid. "In order to win, there must be no more splits in the bloc. Make a decision: join Bennett and Lapid or the Democrats," Golan said in his speech at the Keren Berl conference. According to him, "This hour is greater than all of us and demands a decision. At this time, facing our existential challenges, it is no longer possible to remain in the middle. A split in the bloc does not bring new votes, it only disperses existing power and weakens the camp."
