Rabbi Tzion Buanoun, a leading Sephardic-Haredi rabbinical judge and former member of the Grand Rabbinical Court, has issued a handwritten letter calling on his students to vote for and support the "Noam L'Yisrael" party, led by MK Avi Maoz. The head of the Porat Yosef Yeshiva, Rabbi Moshe Tzadka, also offered his blessings to the party's representatives, stating, "You are doing important things, and whoever truly acts for the sake of Heaven, I certainly strengthen him." Rabbi Buanoun's endorsement joins that of other rabbis and rebbes who have expressed support for MK Maoz and his activities, including Rabbi Dov Kahan, Rabbi Meir Mazuz's son-in-law, who explicitly called for action to ensure the party's success in the elections. Maoz has been a vocal advocate for the Haredi public and yeshiva students, particularly concerning draft issues, and has worked to promote Haredi cities during his tenure as Director-General of the Ministry of Construction and Housing. He has consistently emphasized his commitment to preserving the status of yeshiva students and strengthening Judaism's presence in public life. The party attributes its rising poll numbers, with internal surveys showing 2.7% intending to vote for them and an additional 6% considering it, to this connection with the Haredi sector.
