Two prominent panelists on Israel's Channel 14, Yotam Zimri and Itamar Fleishman, have announced their intention to vote for Bezalel Smotrich in the upcoming elections. Speaking on the NVP podcast, they stated their support for Smotrich while also expressing a desire for Benjamin Netanyahu to remain Prime Minister. Smotrich acknowledged their endorsement and thanked them for their support.

This follows a similar revelation from another Channel 14 panelist, Meir Freilichman, formerly active in Naftali Bennett's Yamina party. Freilichman shared a conversation where he discussed his voting intentions, indicating a strong inclination towards Smotrich due to his actions during the previous term, including strengthening the economy during wartime and bolstering security. He suggested that such conversations could sway votes towards their political bloc.

Smotrich responded enthusiastically to Freilichman's statement, emphasizing the importance of every vote and urging against gambling with the election outcome. The article also notes a television presenter's comment that he has "nothing personal against Netanyahu."
