In a Hebrew article by a Journalist named Amit Segal at the Srugim web site, the question was raised Why does Otzma stay in Israel's election race if there is little chance they can reach the election cutoff point, where the party has to earn at least 4 seats in the Parliament or it gets nothing.
He answered, a party that gets at least 1 per cent of the vote gets state funding for their party.

I learned elsewhere a funding unit is currently about  1.375 million Israeli Shekels.
Ben Gvir's Otzma party got    1.88%    of the votes
83,609 votes in the 17th of September - 17th of Elul elections.
With Ben Gvir's position on Dr. Goldstein see hebrew article: https://www.kikar.co.il/345121.html
he is definitely vulnerable of losing more than half of his vote to a more right-wing party
Larissa Amir (wife of Yigal) has a party called Mishpat Tzedek that escapted (but just barely) from being banned.
