Benny Gantz, Gideon Saar, Gadi Eizenkot
Following the 2022 elections, the National Unity Party ruled out a participation in Netanyhu's new government. However, several days after the October 7th attack by Hamas, it agreed to join the right-wing coalition and stay in it as long as the war lasts. Five members were appointed as ministers without portfolio.
