Knesset member Michal Waldiger from the religious Zionist party criticized today (Tuesday) the joint running agreement between her party and the Otzma Yehudit party.

In a tweet on Twitter that she published against the agreement, she wrote: "Unity with Ben Gabir is important to us, but adequate representation must be given to all shades of the sector. The mainstream, classical religious Zionism must not be relegated to the end of the list."

The apparent agreement between the two on a joint run states that religious Zionist chairman Itamar Ben Gvir will receive four places for his party's representatives in the top ten, and another candidate for the seventh place will be agreed upon by him and the chairman of her party Bezalel Smotrich, a decision that has not yet been decided between the two.

In the last few days, negotiations for a joint run between Smotrich and Ben Gabir took place with the aim of reaching an agreement. During the talks, Smotrich offered Ben Gabir 5 places in the top ten, including joint leadership at Ben Gabir's request. Places 2, 5, 7, 9, 10, so that 7th place There will be an agreed candidate. In doing so, Smotrich responded to Ben Gabir's request for equality in the top ten and also for joint leadership.

In a poll of mandates published on Friday, it appeared that religious Zionism won ten mandates.

According to the survey by Maariv and the Panels Politics Institute, the Likud receives 35 mandates, followed by Atid with 23 mandates, one less than a survey conducted a week before.

The New Tikva Blue and White are also weakening in terms of mandate and stand at only 11 mandates, Shas is stable at 8, and Torah Judaism and the Joint List are also unchanged with 6 mandates each. After the establishment of the Zionist spirit of Ayelet Shaked and Yoaz Handel, Israel Beitenu decreased in mandate to 5, and the Labor Party dropped to 4.

Meretz and Ra'am remained unchanged near the blocking percentage with 4 mandates, and they were also joined by the Zionist Spirit at the bottom of the list with 4 mandates.

The Economic Party led by Yaron Zelicha (0.9%) and the Jewish Home led by Yossi Brodani (0%) do not pass the threshold.
