**Otzma Yehudit leader Itamar Ben-Gvir has repeatedly rejected a joint electoral list with Religious Zionist Party head Bezalel Smotrich ahead of the October 27 Knesset vote, citing strategic differences and polling data showing his party clearing the threshold independently.** Netanyahu has urged the two far-right parties to merge as they did in 2022 to consolidate right-wing votes, but Ben-Gvir dismissed the idea in late August, arguing separate runs better serve the bloc. In early September, Smotrich instead finalized a technical bloc with Zehut, securing additional seats on a combined list submitted before the September 9 deadline. With party lists now finalized and no last-minute reversal indicated, traders see negligible chance of an Otzma-RZP pairing. A sudden Netanyahu-brokered deal remains the primary theoretical scenario that could alter the outcome before final submissions.
