  • Eliraz Sade advised PM Netanyahu to boost the work of ministers Ben-Gvir and Smotrich.
  • Sade believes Netanyahu's trust has declined, especially on security matters.
  • Ben-Gvir and Smotrich are seen as more trusted on security by the "true right."
  • Former PM Bennett and ex-IDF chief Eisenkot are reportedly shifting voter allegiances.
  • Sade recently discussed his own journey toward religious observance.

Media personality Eliraz Sade, a prominent voice on the Israeli right, has advised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to amplify the work of ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich. Sade expressed concern over a perceived shift in voter allegiance, noting that former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot are succeeding in moving voters between political blocs.

In a recent post on X, Sade attributed this trend to a decline in public trust in Netanyahu's ability to handle national issues. He suggested that while Netanyahu excels in foreign policy, particularly concerning relations with figures like Trump and Iran, this is insufficient. Sade pointed out that within the "true right," Ben-Gvir and Smotrich are currently perceived as more trustworthy on security matters, especially in light of the ongoing war.

Sade, who gained public recognition after winning the second season of "Big Brother" and has since built a career in radio and television, is known for his strong political stances and active presence on social media. He frequently analyzes political developments and engages in ideological debates.

Separately, Sade recently shared his personal journey of spiritual growth and increased observance of Jewish tradition. He revealed that his initial steps toward religious study were influenced by Yemeni residents in the city of Rehovot, where he now lives with his wife, Ilanit Levy. Sade explained that he had not initially intended to pursue religious learning but was persuaded by the persistent invitations from people he met in Rehovot, eventually attending Torah classes partly out of politeness.
