Avi Maoz, chairman of the "Noam Israel" party, stated at a post-election event for party activists that significant efforts were made to "erase" his party and its values during the election campaign. Maoz asserted that these attempts, which occurred both before and after the submission of party lists, ultimately failed. He attributed the party's performance, which he described as not yet final, to a well-funded and organized smear campaign against them. Maoz suggested that if the energy directed against "Noam Israel" had instead been used to attract disillusioned right-wing voters, the entire bloc would have achieved a more decisive victory.
Maoz also claimed that his party's core principles influenced other parties within the right-wing bloc, noting that no one attacked their platform directly. He interpreted this as evidence of "Noam Israel's" necessity and success in having other parties adopt their tenets. He emphasized that the party acted in accordance with the guidance of its religious leaders, focusing on the education of Israeli children and the country's Jewish identity.
Rabbi Tzvi Tau, president of Yeshivat Har Hamor and the party's spiritual leader, echoed Maoz's sentiments, stating that the party's mission is to implement eternal truths and beliefs. He acknowledged attempts to sideline the party but urged activists not to stop or despair, believing their message would ultimately prove itself.
