Feiglin-Ben Ari Joint List Collapses

The two right-wing figures announced a joint run for Israel's Knesset just weeks ago, but sources say Ben-Ari's ongoing trial has prevented him from campaign work, leading to the dissolution of their alliance

A political alliance on Israel's right has dissolved shortly after its formation. Moshe Feiglin and Michael Ben-Ari, who recently announced they would run together in the upcoming Knesset elections, will no longer share a joint electoral list, according to a report by Channel 14 correspondent Moti Kastel.

Sources close to Feiglin say the two politicians remain in regular contact and maintain a close relationship. However, Ben-Ari has been largely focused on his ongoing criminal trial in recent weeks, leaving him with limited time for campaign headquarters operations and election work.

As a result, Ben-Ari has released Feiglin's Zehut party from its commitment to run on a unified slate. The sources added that when the official candidate lists close, the two sides will reach a mutual agreement on what position Ben-Ari will occupy on the ballot.
