Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich held an urgent meeting with Rabbi Eli Sadan, head of the Bnei David pre-military academy in Eli and a spiritual mentor to Brigadier General (res.) Ofer Winter, chairman of Am Ech Yisrael. The meeting was prompted by internal polls indicating a significant risk of the right-wing bloc's collapse in the upcoming elections.
The polls suggest that hundreds of thousands of votes could be wasted on small right-wing parties, such as Am Ech Yisrael, that are unlikely to pass the electoral threshold. Netanyahu and Smotrich are reportedly working to strengthen cooperation between national camp leaders and prevent vote "burn" by splinter parties to ensure the stability and victory of the right-wing bloc.
