Feiglin Confident Right-Wing Union Will Achieve Double-Digit Support

Moshe Feiglin, chairman of the Zehut party, expressed strong confidence that the technical bloc formed with the Religious Zionism party will significantly boost their electoral performance. Feiglin stated, "I believe this is just the beginning," predicting the union will achieve double-digit Knesset seats, with Zehut playing a crucial role within it. He emphasized that Zehut will maintain its independent party status despite the technical alliance, aiming to bring a combination of "solid national identity together with uncompromising personal freedom" to the national camp.

Feiglin highlighted Zehut's historical platform, which advocates for "conquest, expulsion, and settlement," arguing that recent events underscore the need for decisive action against Israel's enemies. He dismissed polls showing the union gaining six to eight seats, asserting that broader public understanding of Zehut's inclusion will lead to even greater support. Feiglin explained that the alliance is a "springboard" for Zehut to overcome the electoral threshold, and its success stems from a shared ideological foundation rather than mere electoral expediency.

Feiglin also revealed his past attempts to unite various right-wing factions, including former IDF Brigadier General Ofir Winter, Bezalel Smotrich, and Itamar Ben-Gvir, over a year ago. While the union with Smotrich succeeded, Feiglin described Winter as an "enigma," expressing regret that he could not be brought into the fold despite Feiglin's efforts. He praised Prime Minister Netanyahu's reserved spots on the Likud list as generally good but noted a trend of ideological members being pushed to lower positions.

Feiglin connected Zehut's current independent entry into the Knesset to the "Jewish Leadership" movement he was part of in the Likud 30 years ago, stating that those ideas are now entering the Knesset independently. He urged supporters to vote for the joint list to ensure these ideas have strong representation, noting that the current trend appears to benefit their union rather than detracting from Netanyahu's Likud.
