Israeli Right-Wing Parties Explore Uniting Ahead of Elections

Approximately ten leaders of small right-wing political factions are scheduled to meet on Tuesday to discuss the possibility of forming a joint electoral slate for upcoming legislative elections. The meeting, reportedly an effort to maintain discretion, is to take place at Nissim Louk's residence and aims to explore the creation of a new alliance positioned to the right of the Likud party. Notable attendees are expected to include former Likud MK Moshe Feiglin, founder of the Zehut party, economist Yaron Zelekha, who established the New Economic Party, and former MK Gadi Yevarkan, along with other leaders from minor parties.

The primary objective of this initiative is to consolidate several parties that, individually, might struggle to surpass the electoral threshold. Participants intend to assess whether sufficient political and ideological common ground exists to form a unified list capable of influencing the next election outcome. This effort comes amid a highly fragmented right-wing political landscape as elections approach.

Several parties are vying for voters further to the right than Likud, and discussions about potential alliances are ongoing to prevent vote dilution below the eligibility threshold. No immediate decisions are anticipated from the meeting; its main purpose is for the leaders to evaluate the feasibility of unification and the necessary political conditions for establishing a joint list.
