Recent polls showing the Religious Zionist Party (RZP) struggling near or below the 3.25% electoral threshold—due in part to Ofer Winter’s new People of Israel party drawing right-wing support—have intensified pressure on smaller factions to consolidate. However, RZP completed its independent primary in late July 2026, finalizing a slate led by Bezalel Smotrich, while Likud held its own primary in August and submitted a separate list. Netanyahu has urged right-wing unity to avoid wasted votes, including past talks of alliances or reserved slots, but RZP leaders have signaled a preference to run alone and no surplus-vote or joint-list agreement with Likud has been reached ahead of the October 27 election. These developments underpin trader expectations against a merged Likud-RZP ticket.

Statements of intent, agreements in principle, and reported negotiations will not be considered; only the candidate lists as submitted to the Central Elections Committee will be considered. Withdrawals, disqualifications, and revisions made after the submission deadline will not be considered.
If the 2026 Knesset elections do not occur, or final candidate lists are not submitted, by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM Tel Aviv time, this market will resolve to “No”.
