In four election polls released since last week, when the Knesset was dissolved, Moshe Feiglin and his Zehut party have not received enough votes to cross the minimum election threshold to enter Knesset.

It is now reported that Feiglin has reached out to Ayelet Shaked, who holds the number two slot in the New Right party headed by Naftali Bennet. Feiglin is proposing that if Shaked leaves the New Right and forms her own independent list, she can than team with Zehut and become equal partners.

According to the report released by KAN 11 News correspondent Ze’ev Kam, Feiglin is even willing to step down from the first slot, which would be given to Shaked.

The Zehut party responded to the report, stating “efforts to contact other parties are not handled in the media and when there is something to report, it will be reported in an orderly fashion by an official representative of the party”.

The New Right leader, former Minister MK Naftali Bennet, has already announced that he will run in the upcoming election “With or without Shaked“.
