Netanyahu Welcomes Union of Far-Right Parties Ahead of Elections
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday welcomed the merger between the Religious Zionism party, led by Minister Bezalel Smotrich, and the Zehut party, headed by Moshe Feiglin. Netanyahu stated, "I welcome and am pleased with the important union between 'Religious Zionism' led by Minister Bezalel Smotrich and 'Zehut' led by Moshe Feiglin. They have shown national responsibility. Not a single vote on the right should be wasted!"
The announcement follows Smotrich and Feiglin's declaration to unite their parties for the upcoming elections. This move is part of broader efforts to prevent the fragmentation of votes within the right-wing bloc.
