Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly trying to persuade Ofer Vinter to withdraw from the upcoming political race. The Prime Minister's efforts are allegedly being channeled through Rabbi Bneiahu Shmueli, a spiritual mentor to Vinter, in an attempt to have the rabbi instruct Vinter to step down.
Instead of approaching Vinter directly, Netanyahu's office has been pressuring Rabbi Shmueli to intervene in Vinter's political aspirations. However, the rabbi has reportedly refused to cooperate, ignoring calls from the Prime Minister's office and stating his intention not to get involved in political matters during the upcoming elections.
This reported move comes just two weeks before the Knesset elections. Meanwhile, Doviden Ben Zion, who is ranked eighth on the list, is expected to announce his withdrawal from the race on Tuesday. This decision is attributed to significant pressure and growing concerns within the party following recent poll results that suggest the faction may not pass the electoral threshold.
