Recent polling and party actions have solidified expectations that Otzma Yehudit and the Religious Zionist Party will contest the October 2026 Knesset election on separate lists. The Religious Zionist Party conducted internal primaries in late July and finalized its own slate, while Otzma Yehudit has maintained independent positioning. Itamar Ben-Gvir has repeatedly and explicitly rejected reunification, calling any merger off the table in statements issued after Benjamin Netanyahu urged the parties to combine their slates to protect right-wing seats amid competition from Ofer Winter’s new party. Historical precedent of a 2022 joint run has not produced renewed negotiations, and current surveys indicate Otzma Yehudit clearing the threshold comfortably on its own while the Religious Zionist Party risks falling short without an alliance. These confirmed procedural and public positions underpin the prevailing trader assessment.
