Smotrich’s RZP releases primary results, MKs Strock, Rothman secure top slots

The Religious Zionist Party (RZP) finalized its Knesset slate on Sunday after party committee members voted in primaries to determine the list for the upcoming elections. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich will remain in the first spot and has two reserved slots in the top ten, one of which will go to Tzvika Mor, father of former hostage Eitan Mor. MKs Orit Strock and Simcha Rothman secured the second and third slots, respectively, with MKs Tzvi Sukkot and Ohad Tal following. Smotrich stated the RZP aims to strengthen Jewish identity, care for national security, and bring “fixes to the judicial system.”
