Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Religious Zionism party chairman Bezalel Smotrich are organizing a conference titled "Saving the Right" on Thursday, aiming to increase voter turnout for right-wing parties. The event will bring together dozens of rabbis and institutional leaders from the national religious sector.
A key objective of the conference is to establish a network of thousands of activists to encourage right-wing voters to go to the polls. Notably, the initiative also seeks to enlist yeshiva students to volunteer on election day for activities designed to raise voter participation on the right.
