In a joint policy announcement, Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid have outlined a strategy to reshape Israel’s relationship with the global Jewish community. The proposal, presented under the banner of the 'B'Yachad' initiative, suggests a significant administrative shift by folding the current Diaspora Ministry into the Foreign Ministry. Proponents argue this move would elevate the importance of Diaspora affairs by integrating them directly into the state’s primary diplomatic apparatus.

Regarding the long-standing tensions surrounding religious practice at the Western Wall, the pair pledged to respect existing prayer arrangements at the main Western Wall Plaza. Simultaneously, they committed to maintaining Robinson’s Arch as a designated space for diverse prayer and community gatherings. This approach aims to balance the requirements of the Orthodox establishment with the needs of non-Orthodox Jewish movements, which have historically sought greater recognition and access at the holy site.

While the proposal focuses on structural and religious policy, it remains a platform contingent upon the pair’s ability to form a governing coalition. The plan reflects a broader effort to mend perceived fractures in the relationship between the Israeli government and Jewish communities abroad, particularly in North America. By centralizing Diaspora outreach, the initiative seeks to create a more cohesive diplomatic strategy, though critics of such administrative mergers often express concern that specialized portfolios may lose their focus when absorbed into larger government departments.
