Ahead of Wednesday's closing date, the various parties are working hard to recruit new figures and make connections that may bring more voting votes. On Sunday, it was announced that Shimon Ricklin, a right-wing media figure, will join the Jewish House party and the right-wing party's unification list for the Knesset.

According to the publication, Ricklin is expected to take second place on the list, right after Chairman Rafi Peretz. Ricklin responded to a report on Twitter, tweeting: "It's too soon. Still not going anywhere despite the generous offer of the Jewish home. Contrary to the previous elections, it is important that they run together this time and are happy to help, regardless of the place in the Knesset. "

Dear Friends.
Thanks to all well-wishers.
Thanks so much to all interested.
It's too soon.
Still not going anywhere despite the generous offer of the Jewish home.
Contrary to the previous elections, it is important that they run together this time and are happy to help, regardless of the place in the Knesset.
If there is anything new about this update then please go back to normal

In a tweet, Ricklin explained that he has not yet accepted Peretz and Ben Gvir's offer, though he does not deny that joining is possible. As mentioned, parties will have to submit their lists to the Knesset this Wednesday, so Ricklin will not have much time left to decide.

The journalist, who has never concealed his political views, previously ran for primaries in the "Jewish House" party ahead of the Twentieth Knesset elections, was voted 16th on the "Jewish House" list, but the party won only eight seats, and Ricklin did not enter the Knesset. Ahead of the twenty-first Knesset elections in 2019, Ricklin was nominated for the 28th place on the Likud list, a place that was finally given to the Jewish House representative.
