Smotrich and Feiglin Agree to Run Together in Technical Election Bloc

Religious Zionism chairman Bezalel Smotrich and Zehut chairman Moshe Feiglin announced that their parties will run together in the coming election as a technical bloc. Smotrich said each party will retain its separate identity and path despite their differences. He said the agreement is intended to prevent votes on the right from being lost and called on additional parties in the national camp to join. Feiglin later posted the leaders' joint statement, describing the agreement as a first step in a broader move for the national camp.
