Religious Zionist Party

The Religious Zionist Party is a right-wing nationalist party in the Knesset. Its leader is Bezalel Smotrich, who currently serves as finance minister. 

The party is known for its adherence to religious Zionist ideology and is staunchly opposed to territorial concessions to the Palestinians. Likewise, it also is a strong supporter of the settler movement. It has also been noted for its advocacy of Jewish religious interests, such as its opposition of same-sex marriage.

The Religious Zionist Party was able to achieve seven seats in the last election, making it into Knesset on a shared ticket with fellow far-right parties Otzma Yehudit and Noam.
