Smotrich and Feiglin in advanced talks to form technical bloc for elections

Bezalel Smotrich's Religious Zionism party is in advanced negotiations to join forces with Moshe Feiglin's Zehut party in a technical bloc, separate from Netanyahu's efforts to unite Smotrich with Ben-Gvir. Feiglin is expected to receive the No. 2 spot on the slate, as well as the 8th and 10th positions, though details are not yet finalized. Zehut ran once in 2019, narrowly missing the electoral threshold with about 3% of the vote. Current polls show the party at around 1% support.
