Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Minister of Finance Bezalel Smotrich are meeting with hundreds of rabbis from the Religious Zionist community as part of efforts to increase voter turnout for the right-wing bloc in the upcoming elections. The meeting, initiated by Yisrael Gantz, Chairman of the Yesha Council, aims to formulate joint strategies and establish a joint staff to connect political leadership, rabbis, and activists.
Later in the day, a large conference is scheduled to take place in Jerusalem, with Netanyahu, Smotrich, heads of local authorities from Judea and Samaria, and right-wing activists from across the country expected to attend. The goal of this conference is to mobilize hundreds of thousands of right-wing voters to the polls.
Minister Smotrich stated that the upcoming elections will determine Israel's future, contrasting his bloc's vision with a potential "Eizenkot-Lieberman-Golan government" that he claims would evacuate settlements and establish a Palestinian terror state. He emphasized his bloc's commitment to strengthening Israel's Jewish identity and security. Gantz described the initiative as an unprecedented step to unite key players in the election system and mobilize hundreds of thousands of right-wing voters through public figures, aiming for a significant right-wing victory.
