Israeli Right Faces Split Over Netanyahu
Israeli right-wing parties face the threat of vote splitting as the closing of the electoral lists approaches. Reports indicate that the number of lists is increasing to six instead of four, which heightens the likelihood of smaller parties falling below the threshold and complicates agreements over surplus votes. Itamár Ben-Gvir has announced he will run independently, refusing to merge with Bezalel Smotrich, while the influence of the Likud party is expected to diminish due to the rise of the "Otzma Yehudit" party, which may reach ten seats or more. On the other hand, Ofer Winter insists on participating in the elections through his new party, "Oamcha Yisrael." As Smotrich continues negotiations with Moshé Feiglin over a joint list, the possibility of the right-wing bloc becoming fragmented remains, leaving Benjamin Netanyahu with limited options amid diverging positions.
