Israel's Minister of Education, Yoav Kisch, stated that the right-wing bloc is "unorganized" for the upcoming elections, expressing concern that this disarray could lead to their downfall. He attributed the lack of organization partly to the Prime Minister being preoccupied with managing the war and to ego issues, citing an example where a candidate, Winter, chose not to join their list.
Kisch emphasized the critical need to avoid wasting votes on small parties that may not pass the electoral threshold, urging citizens to vote for parties that will secure representation. He also addressed Minister Ben-Gvir, calling him a "full partner" who will hold a senior position, and advised him to focus on achieving victory rather than engaging in what Kisch deemed "superfluous" criticism from within the armored personnel carrier.
Regarding Iran, Kisch predicted that former President Trump might take significant action against the Iranian regime after the US midterm elections, stressing Israel's need for the Iranian threat to cease. He warned that if Netanyahu loses the elections, Hamas would celebrate in Gaza.
When questioned about former President Trump's intervention in Israeli internal affairs, Kisch asserted that Netanyahu prioritizes Israel's national interest, even if it means disagreeing with less supportive allies like President Biden.
Kisch also expressed his desire to continue as Minister of Education for another term, highlighting his plans to reduce class sizes and transition to a five-day school week, emphasizing the need for investment in education following the war's resource demands.
