Rabbi Hosea Avraham Friedman Ben-Shalom, the Admor of Pshiskan and head of the Beit Yisrael pre-military academy in Jerusalem, announced his intention to vote for Gadi Eisenkot's Yishar! party. The endorsement came during a party activists' event held in Givat Shmuel on Sunday, aimed at attracting voters from the Religious Zionist community.

Rabbi Friedman Ben-Shalom, who has known Eisenkot for 47 years since their military service, described him as a "stable, brave, and value-driven person who represents integrity and public responsibility." He stated he was voting for Eisenkot and the Yishar! party "with a whole heart."

The rabbi previously served as the chief reserve officer of the IDF. He inherited his position as Admor of the Pshiskan Hasidic dynasty, a branch of the Ruzhin Hasidic dynasty, from his late father, Rabbi Israel Friedman Ben-Shalom.
