MK Eitan Ginzburg Joins Naftali Bennett’s B’Yachad Party

Member of Knesset Eitan Ginzburg has officially joined former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's B'Yachad party, marking a significant shift ahead of the upcoming elections. Ginzburg announced his departure from Benny Gantz's Blue and White party in May, expressing that the party could no longer drive necessary change in the country.

Eitan is an exceptionally professional, dedicated, and talented public servant. He has extensive experience in a wide range of positions and a proven ability to deliver results.

Bennett welcomed Ginzburg, highlighting his extensive experience as a public servant. "Eitan is an exceptionally professional, dedicated, and talented public servant," Bennett stated. "He has extensive experience in a wide range of positions and a proven ability to deliver results." Bennett emphasized that Ginzburg's decision to join B'Yachad demonstrates readiness to address the nation's issues immediately, asserting, "We know exactly what needs to be fixed and exactly how we will do it."

Eitan's decision to join Israel's team for national renewal is proof that we do not need a honeymoon period to begin fixing the country. We know exactly what needs to be fixed and exactly how we will do it. Together, we will repair it.

Ginzburg, who previously served as communications minister, deputy speaker of the Knesset, and chairman of the House Committee, also made history as Ra'anana's first openly gay mayor. He expressed enthusiasm for joining Bennett's team, stating that Israel's next government "will not have a honeymoon period." He believes there is "no time for trial and error" and that the state requires a government ready to implement major changes from day one.

There is no time for trial and error. The State of Israel needs a government that will begin working from its very first day to repair the damage that has been done and implement major changes through detailed work plans.

"From my experience working with Naftali Bennett when he led the government of change, I am convinced that he is the right person, with the ability, skills, and experience needed to lead the country's recovery. Together, we will get Israel back on track," Ginzburg said. He is the fourth Knesset member from Blue and White to defect ahead of the 26th elections, with others joining different parties.
