The Religious Zionism party released the full results of its internal primaries Sunday evening, setting the order of its candidates for the next Knesset elections. The top three slots went to Minister Orit Strock, MK Simcha Rothman, and MK Zvi Sukkot, followed by MK Ohad Tal, Omer Rahamim, MK Michal Waldiger, Rabbi Shmuel Sasson, Tzvia Vishingrad, Itam Tam, and Natan Zaubman. The ten-person list includes all current party MKs and several new candidates.
The results were first reported by Israeli media outlets, and the party officially confirmed the list later Sunday evening. The race for the top positions was tight, with Sukkot securing the third slot by a narrow margin over MK Ohad Tal, according to party sources. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, the party leader, said the list, together with additional candidates to be added, will bring victory in the upcoming elections.
The Religious Zionism party, led by Smotrich, is a key component of the current governing coalition. The primary results reflect the party's internal balance and its preparation for the next general election. The list is expected to be submitted to the Central Elections Committee in the coming days.
