At the last minute: Unification was reached on the right. After a conversation with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Rabbi Rafi Peretz of the Jewish House joined Levant from the new right, and Itamar Ben Gvir remained outside the right wing. Earlier (Wednesday) Ben Gavir told Israel Today: "I estimate that I will not be on the joint list, we will run alone." In doing so, the road to unification was paved on the right. The new right-wing chairman, Defense Minister Naftali Bennett, is meeting with Bezalel Smutrich, chairman of the National Union, at this time, and will update it with details.

Earlier, in another attempt to bring the Union to the right, shortly before the closure of the lists, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu summoned Defense Minister and New Right Chairman Naftali Bennett and Jewish Home Minister Rabbi Rafi Peretz to an emergency meeting. Ministers Bennett and Peretz met this evening in a church in Tel Aviv According to sources, Itamar Ben Gvir was in Rabbi Peretz's office and tried to talk to him and get answers, but the Peretz bureau did not allow him to enter.

Before the meeting, Rabbi Peretz tweeted in his Twitter account: "This is a word," apparently in relation to his commitment to an agreement with Itamar Ben Gvir and Jewish power - but soon deleted the tweet.

Earlier, Rabbi Bennett declared on Facebook that he would not agree to consolidate his list with Jewish power led by Itamar Ben Gvir. He published his statement during his meeting with Minister of Education Rabbi Rafi Peretz. The meeting ended without agreement between the parties, but the talks continued at this time.

"I will not include in my list anyone in the living room of his house a picture of a man who murdered 29 innocent people. It will not happen. This is my final decision," wrote Minister Bennett. Attorney Ben Gvir replied to Twitter and tweeted: "I have explained countless times that I am against harming innocents. In light of the fact that fate with Israel and Eretz Israel is at stake, and the chapter on the danger of establishing a government that will expel Jews from home, I announce that for the sake of unity and right-wing victory in the elections, I will remove the picture from the living room. "

In another tweet addressed to Minister Bennett, Ben Gvir added: "I urge you and Minister Smutrich to show responsibility and save the right-wing government."

In a post earlier this evening, Minister Bennett wrote: "There are people who hold our own ideological opposite. Instead of building, breaking. Instead of repairing, rioting. This is a deep disdain for the State of Israel and its institutions. Contempt for IDF commanders and security forces. In their view, violence is fine. Passing workshops to lawbreakers on how to make this a blessing for researchers. Friends, it's awful.

"We believe in the State of Israel, even when we see its flaws. We are working to repair the state; not to destroy it. We will not break the state; we will correct it."
