Bennett–Lapid alliance

Common card · No. 440413

The Bennett–Lapid alliance, known in the Israeli press as the Brothers' Pact (Hebrew: ברית האחים, Brit HaAchim), is a political alliance between Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid formed after the 2013 Israeli legislative election. It took both men into the Thirty-third government of Israel, where Lapid served as Minister of Finance and Bennett as Minister of Economy. The alliance began to erode during 2013 and was cut short by Lapid's dismissal from the government in late 2014. It was revived in 2021, when Bennett and Lapid formed the Thirty-sixth government of Israel and headed it in rotation. In April 2026 the two parties announced that they would run on a joint list named Together. Both of the governments it produced excluded the Haredi parties, and Haredi politicians and media repeatedly portrayed the alliance as directed against Haredi political interests.
