Bezalel Smotrich begins talks with Moshe Feiglin on a joint electoral ticket

Religious Zionist Party leader Bezalel Smotrich and former Likud lawmaker Moshe Feiglin have begun talks to run together in Israel’s October 2026 Knesset election. The development comes as Itamar Ben-Gvir refuses to run on the same ticket as Smotrich, potentially reshaping the right-wing field.

A Smotrich–Feiglin alliance could improve the Religious Zionist bloc’s chances of clearing the electoral threshold while changing the distribution of right-wing seats and post-election coalition options. That could affect the prime-minister race, including the prospects of Benjamin Netanyahu and other contenders who may need right-wing partners to assemble 61 seats.

Topic Brief

Israel’s next prime minister is decided by a parliamentary election and then by coalition formation, not by a single nationwide presidential ballot. After voters choose a Knesset, party leaders negotiate a governing majority; the person who can command that majority becomes prime minister. The research Market on this Event asks who will be prime minister after the next election and lists many named selections. As of the latest Polymarket board, Gadi Eizenkot has been among the leading names, with Benjamin Netanyahu, Naftali Bennett, Yair Lapid, Benny Gantz, Itamar Ben Gvir, and other figures also in the field. Odds move with polls, wartime politics, party splits, and coalition rumors—so the useful page job is to keep the full race visible, not to treat one early favorite as settled. Use this Event page to understand the question and pick a Market; open the race Aggregate for the full selection board, current prices, and platform resolution terms. Exact settlement follows the Market’s rules on Polymarket, not a separate PMI forecast.
