Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich met with hundreds of Religious Zionist rabbis on Wednesday as part of an initiative to increase voter turnout for the right-wing bloc. The meeting, led by Yisrael Gantz, chairman of the Yesha Council and head of the Benjamin Regional Council, was aimed at developing joint strategies for the upcoming elections and fostering collaboration between grassroots activists and political operations.
Gantz and Smotrich initiated the gathering to coordinate efforts for the election campaign, focusing on mobilizing right-wing voters. The initiative seeks to ensure a higher participation rate among this demographic.
Later on Wednesday, Netanyahu and Smotrich were scheduled to attend an event in Jerusalem with regional council leaders from Judea and Samaria and right-wing activists from across the country. This event, also initiated by Gantz, was set to address election preparations and efforts to boost the right-wing bloc's vote share.
Smotrich stated that the upcoming elections will determine Israel's future, contrasting their goals with a hypothetical "government of Eizenkot-Lieberman-Golan" that he claimed would evacuate settlements and establish a Palestinian terror state. He emphasized strengthening Israel's Jewish identity and security.
Gantz described the effort as an unprecedented step to unite key players in the current election system, aiming to mobilize hundreds of thousands of right-wing voters through public figures and secure a significant victory for the right.
