Chairman of the Zehut party, Moshe Feiglin, on Monday evening once again issued denials regarding reports of a secret deal between him and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. Feiglin stated unequivocally that there is no deal and he and his colleagues stand ready for the election for 22nd Knesset.

Feiglin addressed reports that his party is going to drop out of the election race and in return, he will receive a senior position in a Netanyahu-led government. Feiglin denies the accuracy of these reports, insisting absolutely no agreement was signed by Zehut and his party stands ready for the election, set for Tuesday, September 17, 2019.

In all election polls over recent weeks, Zehut fails to reach the 3.5% minimum threshold of the popular vote, usually earning less than 2% of the vote.
