A senior figure from the Har HaMor Yeshiva has issued a sharp and unprecedented response to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's persistent pressure on small right-wing parties to withdraw from the upcoming elections. The Noam party, associated with the yeshiva, is facing calls from Netanyahu to step aside to prevent "wasted votes" within the right-wing bloc.
The senior figure dismissed Netanyahu's attempts to persuade Noam to exit the race, stating, "Netanyahu has no real way to convince the Noam party to withdraw from the elections." The source directly accused the Prime Minister of orchestrating the party's political isolation throughout the election campaign.
"He is the one who ensured no party would join with Avi Maoz. He is the one who decided to politically eliminate Avi Maoz," the source claimed, referencing the party's leader. The figure also revealed that Netanyahu had presented Rabbi Eli Sadan with a "nightmare scenario" regarding the election outcome.
Concluding the remarks, the senior figure emphasized that neither Noam nor the yeshiva community intends to yield to the pressure. "Let him not come now to beg for the party to withdraw. Let him eat the dish he cooked; we will prove how much we are worth," the source stated, indicating their resolve to remain in the electoral contest.
