The chairman of the Free Israel Party, Eli Avidar, recently approached Hedar Mokhtar, founder of the "Burning Youth" party, with a proposal to examine political cooperation in the upcoming elections. According to political sources, Avidar suggested that Mokhtar examine a joint run in the elections, but she refused, partly because of the identification his as an opponent of former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his desire to appeal to as broad a young audience as possible. Mokhtar confirmed the details. On Avidar's behalf it was stated: "Talks with contacts are not taken into account."

In recent weeks, Mokhtar has been conducting a broad network campaign to promote the "Burning Youth" party, which is mainly concerned with expensive issues Since she is only 20 years old, she is too young to run for the Knesset, but she registered her party in the party registry and intends to run other candidates in the Knesset elections.

Avidar, whose party is still far from passing the percentage of obstruction, in recent weeks also approached the Chairman of Raam, Mansour Abbas, and in News 12 it was even reported that they are holding "contacts" in preparation for a joint run and that Avidar has polls that show that it can strengthen Raam with two mandates According to this, RA officials told Walla that the contacts are not unserious and assessed the chance that the party would include a liberal Jewish representative in the list as very low.

At the beginning of the week, Avidar met with Prime Minister Yair Lapid, who asked him to commit that he would resign if his party continued to falter in the polls.

Avidar refused and even published a post in which he attacked Lapid for his indifferent conduct, and made it clear that retirement is not on the agenda for him.

"We are open to any possible union in the bloc (not to Sharyon). If such a union does not take place, we will submit a list to the Knesset on September 15 and run to the end," Avidar wrote.
