Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich are meeting with Rabbi Eli Sadan, founder of the Bnei David institutions and Rabbi Ofer Winter's mentor. The meeting comes amid growing concerns within the right-wing bloc about wasted votes in the upcoming elections. This follows internal polls received by Netanyahu and Smotrich on Tuesday, which heightened fears that hundreds of thousands of votes could be lost, potentially harming the bloc's electoral prospects.
The meeting also occurs five days after Rabbi Sadan issued an unusual protest statement against the nature of the political campaign targeting Ofer Winter. Rabbi Sadan referenced allegations of private investigators being sent to Winter's home, signs being hung against candidates in synagogues, and even harm to their children. He did not identify who was behind these actions, and the claims were not independently verified.
In his statement, Rabbi Sadan expressed strong protest regarding the campaign style, stating that elections do not permit lies, slander, or the loss of the commandment to love one's neighbor. He also spoke of his personal acquaintance with Winter, describing him as a truthful, upright, and clean-handed individual who always speaks his mind.
