Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett reacted on Tuesday to comments made by Avigdor Lieberman, who expressed hope that Ofer Winter would pass the electoral threshold and join the "change bloc." Bennett stated that Winter does not represent change, asserting that Winter "swore allegiance to the Netanyahu government and said he would only go with the Prime Minister."
Bennett also addressed remarks attributed to Rabbi Landau, which were reported on Channel 12 news. Rabbi Landau reportedly stated that Religious Zionism fighters are dying due to distorted Torah teachings, and that he prefers Arab rule over the State of Israel. Bennett responded critically, saying, "Indeed, Rabbi Landau has the right in a democracy to say that Arab rule is preferable to the State of Israel and to defame the fallen of Religious Zionism. There is no point in arguing. But it is our right and our duty to simply stop funding this. The Zionist public will stop funding anti-Zionist, anti-democratic, anti-IDF education. Not Zionist, not on my dime."
Separately, Kobi Oz revealed his voting intentions for the upcoming elections, stating, "For the first time in my life."
