About two weeks ago, the chairman of Otzma Yehudit, Knesset member Itamar Ben Gvir, announced that he had decided to run alone. Today (Friday), after a meeting with Netanyahu, Ben Gvir announced in a joint statement with the chairman of Religious Zionism, MK Bezalel Smotrich, that they will run together in the upcoming elections.
|The religious Zionist parties and Otzma Yehudit reached an agreement regarding a joint run for the 25th Knesset. MK Smotritz and Ben Gvir welcomed the agreement that will help the victory of the national camp and bring a stable national government to Israel,” said the joint statement issued at this time on behalf of the two parties.
Former Prime Minister and Likud Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed the agreement reached between religious Zionism and Otzma Yehudit and said: “Unity is the order of the day to ensure the victory of the national camp and the establishment of a stable national government for the next 4 years.”
It should be noted that in all the polls conducted last weekend, Ben Gabir registered a huge jump and received about seven mandates, on the other hand, for ‘religious Zionism’, there were polls that did not exceed the blocking percentage at all.
