Netanyahu and Smotrich Meet Religious Zionist Rabbis Ahead of Elections
Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich are currently holding a crucial meeting with hundreds of rabbis from the Religious Zionist community. The gathering, initiated by Yisrael Gantz, head of the Benjamin Regional Council and chairman of the Yesha Council, aims to coordinate strategies and establish a structured campaign to boost voter turnout for the right-wing bloc in the upcoming elections. Gantz has been appointed to lead the effort to increase participation among right-wing voters.

Later today, a large-scale event is scheduled to take place in Jerusalem, also organized by Gantz. This event will feature Prime Minister Netanyahu, Minister Smotrich, numerous heads of local authorities from Judea and Samaria, and prominent right-wing activists from across the country.

Finance Minister Smotrich stated that the upcoming elections will determine Israel's future, contrasting a potential government led by figures like Gantz and Lieberman with his own bloc's commitment to strengthening the country's Jewish identity and security. He asserted, "Together we continue to victory for the right."

Yisrael Gantz described the joint effort as an unprecedented move to unite key players in the current election campaign, aiming to mobilize hundreds of thousands of right-wing voters through public figures. He added, "The goal is to prepare together and lead to a great victory for the right."
