Amit Segal, a political commentator for Channel 12 News, sharply criticized the national religious sector on Wednesday, citing the wasted votes from religious parties that failed to pass the electoral threshold in recent elections. Segal argued that the sector has not yet matured politically and is responsible for the political crises of recent years.
He pointed to the 1.7% of votes for Ofer Winter's party as an example of wasted votes, stating it was far from the electoral threshold and unrelated to any campaign by Netanyahu. Segal asserted that the "burning of votes" on the right in the past decade originated from national religious figures, listing Feiglin, Bennett, Ben Gvir, Noam, and Winter.
Segal described the sector as "a sector that has not yet matured politically and has thrown the country into a dizzying spin time and again." He highlighted the union of Smotrich and Feiglin as the right-wing bloc's central decision in the last elections, calling it both responsible and worthwhile.
