Netanyahu’s recent public appeals for Otzma Yehudit and the Religious Zionist Party to run a joint list ahead of the October 27 election reflect concerns that separate runs could waste right-wing votes below the 3.25% threshold, as recent polls show RZP hovering near or below it while Otzma Yehudit clears it more comfortably. Leaders Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich have both signaled reluctance to reunite after their 2022 alliance, citing differing voter bases and strategic preferences, with Ben-Gvir favoring a larger independent Otzma Yehudit slate possibly alongside other right-wing figures. These competing pressures—threshold risks versus party autonomy—create the current equilibrium in trader assessments of whether a combined list will form before final submissions.
