Even during the time of United Blue and White, the chairman of Talam Moshe (Boogie) Ya’alon kept to himself the possibility of running independently in the future and made sure to cultivate Talam.
After the dissolution of Blue and White, Yair Lapid’s Yesh Atid remained, but has recently been looking for alternatives, including the possibility of running independently with the Talam faction and expanding the list.
Now, Lapid and Ya’alon will part ways ahead of the upcoming elections and Ya’alon Kamor will announce in the coming days an independent run with the TLM list, which in the past included MKs Zvika Hauser and Yoaz Handel who left for the Derech Eretz faction and recently joined Gideon Saar and MK Gadi Yabarkan’s party. . In the coming days, Ya’alon will announce the new entrants to the TLM list.
I really appreciate and respect you @bogie_yaalon And wish him success along the way.

Mish Atid responded: “Boogie is greatly appreciated and respected and we wish him success along the way.” Ya’alon’s entourage refused to comment on the news.
