Otzma Yehudit Party Reserves Ninth Spot for Ultra-Orthodox Representative
Otzma Yehudit party leader and Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir announced on Monday that Yossi Goldberger will be placed in the ninth position on the party's list for the upcoming Knesset elections. This marks the first time Ben-Gvir has secured a spot for an ultra-Orthodox representative on the Otzma Yehudit slate.
Goldberger, 39, is a married father of four and an established figure within the ultra-Orthodox community, with experience in public service and assisting individuals and communities. In recent years, he has served as an advisor to ministers and Knesset members, working to advance projects with government ministries and various authorities on behalf of constituents and communities.
Otzma Yehudit highlighted Goldberger's recognition within ultra-Orthodox communities, institutional leaders, and public representatives. His work has involved connecting individuals from the ultra-Orthodox public with party ministers and representatives, and facilitating their requests with government ministries and local authorities.
Ben-Gvir welcomed Goldberger's inclusion, stating, "Yossi is a dynamic doer with a big heart, who knows the ultra-Orthodox public and its needs very well. He has proven over the years that he knows how to open doors, help people, and bring results." Ben-Gvir added, "I am happy he is joining our team and am confident he will be a loyal and strong representative for the ultra-Orthodox public in the next Knesset."
