Netanyahu Urges Right-Wing Parties to Unite Ahead of Elections
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly endorsed the unification of right-wing parties, specifically welcoming the joint list of "Zionut Datit" led by Bezalel Smotrich and "Zeut" led by Moshe Feiglin. Netanyahu stated that this "important unification" demonstrates national responsibility and emphasized the need to "not lose a single vote" within the right-wing bloc.
Earlier reports indicated that Netanyahu was promoting a proposal to integrate four individuals from Avi Winter's list into other parties. The plan reportedly involved placing two individuals, including Arab activist Youssef Haddad and former journalist Netali Shem-Tov, onto the Likud party list, and two others onto the "Zionut Datit"-"Zeut" list. This proposal was described as an initial idea that had not yet been confirmed.
However, according to "Arutz 7," Avi Winter has rejected this proposal. The article suggests that the proposal aimed to secure reserved spots for certain individuals within larger parties to prevent vote dilution.
