    Will unite?

48 hours before the closing of the lists, and in the right-wing bloc, the eyes are mainly on religious Zionists - Bezalel Smutrich, Hagit Moshe (Jewish House) and Itamar Ben Gvir, chairman of Jewish Power.

Meanwhile, the clear, spoken and expected connection between Smutrich and Hagit Moshe is also experiencing difficulties.

Last night, members of the Jewish Home Center were supposed to convene to approve an agreement between the two, but the conference in question was postponed to today due to difficulties in negotiations.

According to the members of the Jewish House, Smutrich placed far-reaching demands in the negotiations, such as the fact that he wanted to give the members of the Jewish House only one place in the first quartet and the other three places left for him.

Another issue in dispute between the parties is the demand of the members of the Jewish House for joint leadership - the Jewish House seeks to agree on the familiar model such as Bennett and Shaked who led the party together, not that Smutrich will be in first place and have all the powers, and the Jewish House will follow.

The last conversation between the parties took place yesterday morning and Rabbi Eli Sadan, one of the senior rabbis of religious Zionism, also entered the picture in an attempt to mediate between the parties.

The second significant connection in religious Zionism is with Itamar Ben Gvir, chairman of Jewish Power. Ben Gvir sent messages everywhere possible yesterday that he is ready and willing to connect with Smutrich, but according to Ben Gvir, Smutrich is not interested in such a connection and as of last night the two did not speak at all. .

Ben Gvir told Israel Today: "There are no talks between us. There are hundreds of good people who want to mediate and bridge, but it takes two to tango, and I say with sorrow and pain that when the other side has no desire - then there is nothing to do. I am ready to talk anywhere and anytime. I I really believe, and the data also shows that if we all go together we win the election, we can be the main story of the election. "

According to Ben Gvir, Smutrich is not interested in this essay on a personal background.

"There is no professional interest here, there is not a single survey today that Smutrich and Hagit Moshe pass. If Smutrich had passed without me, I would not say a word, but there is no survey that shows that he passes the blocking percentage. Only with our connection together will we pass the blocking percentage."

Ben Gvir says that he intends to run in the upcoming elections anyway, even without a connection with Smutrich and Moshe.

"I signed with the Noam party and I will make other connections."

Burning voices

As for the allegations of burning votes for the right-wing bloc, Ben Gvir says "in the polls I am stronger than Smutrich and Hagit Moshe, I am irresponsible ?! I shout and call for unity all the time."

Smutrich remained silent yesterday and explained: "These days of compiling the lists are complex days. We have embarked on a new-old path of establishing one, large and united religious Zionist party. No more forced last-minute recharges, our goal is to establish a party A wide, friendly and unified one, one that will contain all the shades, give them expression and allow them to feel at home together.

"I have been hearing allegations against me in recent days. Some even accuse me of arrogance and slander. And it stings, and hurts and hurts very much. It happens because unlike others who run campaigns and negotiations in the media, I have decided to remain silent."

Waiting for armor

The Likud is awaiting the prime minister's decision regarding the six armor approved for him.

The party's estimates are that Orly Levy-Abacis will arm the party, while Gal Hirsch, whose name has emerged in recent days as a possible armored man, is actually moving away from the possibility of armor.

In Bennett and Saar's parties, no connection between the two is expected.

There the list is prepared for submission.

As of last night, it is clear that in Bennett's party the first three places will be Bennett, Shaked and Alon Davidi, the mayor of Sderot who recently joined the party.

In Saar's party, the first three places will be allocated to Saar, Shasha-Biton and Elkin.

Later in the top ten, Handel and Hauser and more will also be included.
