Israeli Elections: Right-Wing Alliances Form

The Israeli political arena is witnessing a heated race ahead of the closure of the Likud's 26th Knesset election lists. Parties are negotiating alliances between the right-wing and opposition camps, amid concerns that votes for smaller parties may be wasted if they do not surpass the electoral threshold, especially given the differing positions of major parties. On the right, the Religious Zionism and Zehut parties have agreed to run together within a joint list without merging the two; meanwhile, Ben Gvir continues to exclude the idea of joining a coalition and plans to run independently. On the opposition side, efforts are underway to unify the major parties to prevent vote splitting, though the possibility of forming broader alliances or running separate lists remains open until the last minute. Discussions are also ongoing about prominent candidates such as Ofer Ventzer, who is seen as a crucial figure who could change the direction of the right-wing competition, while debate continues over Likud's list results and disagreements over candidate rankings.
