- Otzma Yehudit was excluded and criticized Likud's motives.

The Likud party and the Religious Zionism party have signed a surplus vote agreement ahead of the elections. However, Otzma Yehudit was excluded from this agreement and has reacted sharply, accusing Likud of attempting to diminish Otzma Yehudit's influence and keep its leader, Ben Gvir, out of a planned unity government with Izankov. Otzma Yehudit stated that this move by Likud was foreshadowed by statements made by Eli Goldschmidt, a former MK for the Labor Party and a Likud candidate. This agreement between Likud and Religious Zionism follows similar pacts expected between other parties before the elections. The question now remains whether Ben Gvir will sign a surplus vote agreement with the Am Israel Party, led by Ofer Winter.
