Hillel Biton Rosen, the military correspondent for Israel's Channel 14, has published an unusual social media post calling on the public to vote for right-wing parties in the upcoming elections. Rosen stated that after much thought, he decided to "break his silence and speak to you as openly as possible," explaining his decision to engage in politics.
He characterized the upcoming elections not as ordinary, but as a "decisive moment for the future of Israel's security." While acknowledging the government's responsibility for the October 7th failures, he highlighted the significant military achievements since the war began and stressed the importance of preserving these gains. Rosen warned that a left-wing government, supported by "Arab parties that support terror," would pose an "enormous security danger" to Israel. He framed the choice as between "religious right or Arab left" and urged voters not to gamble with the nation's security.
Addressing undecided voters, Rosen implored them to vote "only with your head," even if they dislike Prime Minister Netanyahu, Itamar Ben-Gvir, Bezalel Smotrich, or the ultra-Orthodox parties. He argued that voting for any other party would lead to these "extreme elements" gaining positions of power. He dismissed the possibility of a unity government and urged voters to support only right-wing parties that are certain to pass the electoral threshold.
