The Otzma Yehudit party has issued a sharp statement against the Likud party, accusing it of refusing to sign a surplus votes agreement ahead of the upcoming Knesset elections. Otzma Yehudit claims this move is a deliberate political maneuver intended to weaken their party and prevent its chairman, Itamar Ben-Gvir, from joining a future coalition government. They allege that the Likud's refusal is part of a plan to form a "unity government" with Eizenkot.
According to Otzma Yehudit, this alleged strategy by the Likud aims to diminish Otzma Yehudit's political strength and directly influence the composition of the next government. The party cited a statement made by Eli Goldschmidt, a former MK from the Labor Party and a Likud candidate, as evidence for their claims regarding the planned unity government.
This development comes as the Likud and the Religious Zionism party have finalized and submitted their own surplus votes agreement to the Central Elections Committee for approval, with only 21 days remaining until the elections for the 26th Knesset.
