Hebrew · 2 newsrooms covering

The Haredi Public party has launched a campaign targeting both Haredi and Religious Zionist voters, establishing a special headquarters to appeal to the latter. Surveys indicated tens of thousands of undecided voters, prompting the party to address a perceived political vacuum. The party aims to secure additional mandates by attracting right-wing leaning Haredim who are hesitant about existing right-wing parties' ties to established Haredi factions.

  • The Haredi Public party established a special headquarters to appeal to Religious Zionist voters.
  • Surveys revealed tens of thousands of undecided voters without political representation.
  • The party aims to secure second and third mandates by attracting these voters.
  • Some Haredi voters favor right-wing parties but oppose support for established Haredi factions.
  • These voters are also concerned about policies impacting Haredi integration into the IDF.

The Haredi Public party has initiated a broad campaign within Haredi communities, simultaneously establishing a dedicated headquarters aimed at appealing to the Religious Zionist sector. This strategic move follows internal party assessments, based on survey data, indicating a significant bloc of tens of thousands of voters who currently lack political representation. The party aims to secure additional mandates in the upcoming elections by capturing these undecided voters.

The party identifies a segment within the Haredi public that leans towards right-wing parties but expresses reservations about existing right-wing factions. These reservations stem from the latter's support for established Haredi parties and policies perceived as hindering the integration of Haredim into the IDF. Recognizing this political vacuum, the Haredi Public party has decided to actively court these voters.

Moti Leitner, the party's chairman, is leading the effort to engage with the Religious Zionist electorate. The campaign's dual focus seeks to solidify support within the Haredi community for the party's second and third mandates, while simultaneously exploring new voter bases.
