The Jewish Power (Otzma Yehudit) party delegation visited the President's Residence on Thursday to recommend MK Benjamin Netanyahu as the next prime minister. The delegation included Ministers Yitzhak Wasserlauf and Amichai Eliyahu, and MKs Limor Son Har Melech and Yitzhak Kroizer.
Minister Wasserlauf began by demanding that President Yitzhak Herzog require all visitors recommending a candidate to explicitly declare Hamas a terrorist organization. He then leveled a serious accusation, stating, "Mr. President, elections were stolen here, amounting to about 100 million shekels that went to voters. This is an earthquake."
MK Limor Son Har Melech echoed concerns about the election results, suggesting that "the people, for the most part, do not believe the election results," especially in light of statements from Shin Bet head David Zini. She urged the President to investigate the truth.
MK Yitzhak Kroizer reported that in some Arab cities, the PLO anthem "Biladi, Biladi" was sung instead of "Hatikvah" (The Hope), which he claimed "tells the whole story of the elections." During a discussion, President Herzog suggested that Arab voter turnout might have been influenced by Minister Ben-Gvir's actions. Kroizer countered that this was a "certificate of appreciation" for Ben-Gvir, who he said finally enforced the law after 40 years of anarchy.
Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, chairman of Jewish Power, responded to the President's question by stating he was proud to be feared by supporters of terror. He vowed to continue making life hell for terrorists in prisons, demolish illegal homes, and fight terror without compromise.
