Unity, a right-wing party founded in August 2026 by former Likud ministers Gilad Erdan and Yuli Edelstein, withdrew from Israel's October 27 Knesset election in early September after failed alliance talks and persistent polling below the 3.25% threshold. This exit from the ballot, confirmed through official list submissions, drives the market's strong consensus on a sub-0.5% vote share, as traders price in the absence of any Unity candidates or lists. Recent polls show no residual support or write-in activity for the party amid a crowded field of established factions. Late developments such as a sudden re-entry or procedural reversal remain possible but lack any supporting announcements or momentum at this stage of the campaign.
