- Likud and Religious Zionism signed a surplus vote agreement.
- The deal aims to maximize Knesset representation.
- Focus is now on Ben-Gvir's party and its potential alliances.
- Parties are forming alliances before the elections.
The Likud party signed a surplus vote agreement with the Religious Zionism party on Tuesday. This agreement allows parties to transfer unused votes to each other after an election, aiming to maximize their representation in the Knesset. The move comes as parties scramble to form electoral alliances ahead of the upcoming elections.
Following this agreement, the focus shifts to Itamar Ben-Gvir's party and whether it will sign a similar surplus vote deal with another party, potentially with the "Otzma Yehudit" party led by Itamar Ben-Gvir. The exact implications for Ben-Gvir's party and its potential alliances remain a key question.
