伊塔马尔·本-格维尔和贝扎莱尔·斯莫特里赫领导的极端民族主义政党此前曾在本雅明·内塔尼亚胡的斡旋下联手。这一次，他们不在同一份候选人名单上。
Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich lead ultranationalist parties that previously joined forces, in deals brokered by Benjamin Netanyahu. They are not on the same slate this time.
以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡近年来领导着该国最右翼的政府，其中尤其有两名极端民族主义部长推动的政策和立场，加剧了以色列与许多传统盟友之间的摩擦。
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel has led the country’s most right-wing government in recent years, with two ultranationalist ministers in particular pushing policies and positions that have exacerbated friction with many of the nation’s traditional allies.
这两名政客——国家安全部长伊塔马尔·本-格维尔和财政部长贝扎莱尔·斯莫特里赫（后者还负责以色列占领的约旦河西岸的行政事务）——公开主张在大部分国际社会视为非法占领、并指定用于建立巴勒斯坦国的土地上扩大犹太人定居点。
These politicians, Itamar Ben-Gvir, the national security minister, and Bezalel Smotrich, the finance minister, who is also responsible for the administration of the Israeli-occupied West Bank, are vocal about expanding Jewish settlements on land that much of the international community considers illegally occupied and designated for a Palestinian state.
但他们并不属于同一个政党，也并非总是意见一致。在这次选举中，与之前两次投票不同，他们不在同一份候选人名单上竞选。
But they are not in the same political party or always on the same page. In this election, they are not running on the same slate, unlike in the two previous votes.
本-格维尔先生领导“犹太力量党”（Otzma Yehudit）；斯莫特里赫先生领导“宗教犹太复国主义党”。斯莫特里赫的政党今年与摩西·费格林领导的“身份党”（Zehut）组成名单参选，费格林曾是内塔尼亚胡领导的利库德集团成员。
Mr. Ben-Gvir leads Otzma Yehudit, or the Jewish Power party; and Mr. Smotrich heads the Religious Zionist party. Mr. Smotrich’s party is running this year on a list with the Zehut, or Identity party, led by Moshe Feiglin, a former member of Mr. Netanyahu’s Likud party.
内塔尼亚胡曾试图让本-格维尔和斯莫特里赫再次联手，以确保这些政党在以色列比例代表制议会选举中跨过3.25%的得票门槛，从而使右翼阵营不损失任何选票，但本-格维尔拒绝了这一尝试。斯莫特里赫也曾表示有保留意见。民调显示，本-格维尔是
Mr. Ben-Gvir has refused Mr. Netanyahu’s attempts to team him and Mr. Smotrich again in hopes of ensuring the parties clear the threshold of 3.25 percent of votes in Israel’s proportional parliamentary system so that the right-wing bloc does not lose any votes. Mr. Smotrich had expressed reservations, as well. Polling shows Mr. Ben-Gvir is
