Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich met with hundreds of rabbis from the Religious Zionist community on Thursday. The meeting, held as part of an initiative to increase voter turnout among right-wing bloc supporters in the upcoming elections, was organized by Yisrael Gantz, head of the Benjamin Regional Council and chairman of the Yesha Council. Gantz was appointed to lead the campaign aimed at boosting the right-wing vote.
The initiative seeks to connect rabbis, public figures, local authority heads, and field activists to mobilize right-wing voters to the polls. Smotrich stated that the upcoming elections will determine Israel's future, contrasting his bloc's goals with a "government of Eizenkot-Lieberman-Golan" that he claimed would evacuate settlements and establish a Palestinian terror state. He pledged to strengthen the country's Jewish identity and secure Israel.
Gantz described the effort as an unprecedented move to unite key figures in the election system to mobilize hundreds of thousands of right-wing voters. He emphasized the goal of preparing together for a significant right-wing victory. Another large-scale event, also initiated by Gantz and focused on increasing right-wing turnout, is scheduled to take place in Jerusalem later on Thursday, with Netanyahu, Smotrich, local leaders from Judea and Samaria, and right-wing activists expected to attend.
