Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with prominent religious leaders, including Rabbi Yaakov Shapira, Rosh Yeshivat Mercaz HaRav, Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu, Chief Rabbi of Safed, and Rabbi Eitan Izman, following their meeting with Ofer Winter, chairman of the 'Am Israel' party. A Likud source stated that Netanyahu emphasized the importance of every vote in the upcoming elections and the need to prevent vote loss within the right-wing bloc. The source also noted that there was no prior information about the meeting.
Behind the scenes, Winter had been facing pressure from several rabbis in recent days to withdraw from the electoral race. The morning meeting was intended for the rabbis to hear Winter's position before deciding whether to issue a letter against his candidacy. However, after the meeting, the rabbis concluded that Winter is determined to continue his campaign and has no intention of withdrawing.
Discussions are now underway among the rabbis regarding the potential publication of a letter against Winter and the timing of such a release.
