After MK Moshe Yaalon of the Telem faction, part of the combined Yesh Atid-Telem party, made statements indicating that he was supportive of the establishment of a new political party list including center-left elements, senior officials in the Yesh Atid party signaled their displeasure.

Speaking to Kan News, the officials stated that, "If Yaalon continues with this subversive conduct, Lapid will break up the partnership between Yesh Atid and Telem."
