A week before the upcoming elections, Aviv Bushinsky, former spokesperson for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, suggested that Netanyahu might make surprise appearances on less conventional media channels, such as Channel 12's "Kitchen Masters" or with interviewers like Avri and Shaki, rather than traditional news anchors like Yonit Levy or Keren Marziano. Bushinsky stated that Netanyahu's goal is to reach undecided voters, whom he believes are found on "channels of panic and outrage." Netanyahu has recently granted interviews to several media outlets but has avoided Channel 12, with the network claiming he fears difficult questions.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Netanyahu met with Rabbi Eli Sadan, the head of the Eli yeshiva and spiritual mentor to Ofer Winter, on Tuesday. The meeting, also attended by Minister of Finance Bezalel Smotrich, occurred amid growing concern over Winter potentially falling below the electoral threshold. The urgent meeting with Rabbi Sadan was reportedly aimed at preventing a "vote burn" for the right-wing bloc. According to a report by Malichdim News, Rabbi Sadan informed Netanyahu during the discussion that he had become convinced Ofer Winter should withdraw, though he stated he had no influence over Winter's decision.
