Both leaders have publicly ruled out a renewed joint list ahead of Israel's October 27 election, with Smotrich stating in mid-August that Religious Zionism should run independently as a stronger sectoral party and Ben-Gvir emphasizing distinct voter bases that make one-plus-one electoral math unreliable. Recent polls place Otzma Yehudit near eight seats while Religious Zionism hovers at or below the threshold, heightening risks of wasted right-wing votes. Netanyahu has pressed for consolidation to protect bloc strength, yet both parties have completed separate primaries and slate preparations. These statements and structural incentives create a narrow balance, where late coalition pressure or polling shifts could still alter the outcome.
