Will Bezalel Smotrich be the next Israeli Minister of Finance?

The question asks whether Bezalel Smotrich will be the next Israeli Minister of Finance after the 2026 Knesset elections. The only provided article Ground article reports that Smotrich is currently Finance Minister and is meeting with Netanyahu and rabbis to prepare for upcoming elections and consolidate the right-wing bloc. This indicates he is an active political figure and likely to be a candidate, but it does not provide any evidence about the election outcome, coalition negotiations, or his appointment to the finance portfolio in the next government. The article does not mention the 2026 elections specifically, nor does it suggest any certainty about his future role. Given the lack of substantive information about the post-election government formation, the probability should remain near the midpoint. The article is relevant but thin, so I cannot justify a strong lean either way. Therefore, I assign a probability of 0.5, treating this as a MAYBE.
