A group of reservists' wives, including Chana Koren, chairwoman of the Religious Zionism Forum of Reservists' Wives, has published a letter of support for the Religious Zionism party ahead of the upcoming elections. The signatories praised the wartime efforts of Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and Settlement Minister Orit Strock, urging the public to vote for the party, designated by the Hebrew letter Tet (ט) on the ballot.

The letter, addressed to "Our Sisters in Arms," details the personal and familial sacrifices made by the wives of soldiers serving during three years of conflict. They described sending their husbands to various fronts, including Gaza, Syria, Lebanon, Judea and Samaria, and even Iran and Yemen, often leaving them to manage alone during difficult times. The signatories emphasized their view of their husbands' service as a national mission, undertaken with love for the people and the state of Israel, driven by the need for victory and security against enemies like Hamas and Hezbollah.

The letter highlighted perceived achievements during the war, such as damaging Hamas, recovering hostages, weakening Hezbollah, and confronting Iran. The signatories credited Smotrich and Strock with preventing "surrender deals" in the cabinet and advocating for a decisive victory. They also commended the financial support provided to reservists' families by Smotrich, including vacation vouchers, a "Fighter Card," and tax relief, stating that he made them feel cared for by decision-makers.

Warning against a potential change in government, the letter expressed concern that a "left-wing government" could reverse wartime gains. The wives urged fellow reservists' wives not to let justified anger or disappointment influence their vote, stressing the importance of continuing the "great work" and preventing the sacrifices made from being in vain. They concluded with a direct call to vote for the Religious Zionism party on election day, to empower Smotrich to continue his work towards victory.
