Under the agreement, former IDF Chief Rabbi Rafi Peretz will head the joint list. Both parties will receive an equal number of mandates.

There is also a chance the list may also join forces with Otzma Yehudit and former Shas party leader Eli Yishai as well, according to a report published on the Hebrew-language 0404 military news site.
