Feiglin Says He Will Not Join This Technical Bloc Under Any Circumstances

Amid reports about the possibility of a “technical bloc” bringing together a series of political figures under the leadership of Benny Gantz, Moshe Feiglin is drawing a red line. According to him, “Gantz is one of the direct people responsible for nurturing the Oslo concept.”

Following reports and rumors over the past day about the formation of a broad “technical bloc,” including figures such as Prof. Yaron Zelekha, Dedi Simchi and Yoaz Hendel under the auspices of Benny Gantz, the chairman of the ‘Zeut’ movement, Moshe Feiglin, clarified that he has no intention of taking part in such a move.

Feiglin rejected outright any attempt to involve his movement in a political alliance with Gantz. According to his associates, Feiglin firmly refused to open a channel of dialogue or hold meetings on the matter, on the understanding that such a move is not on the agenda under any scenario. He stressed that from the perspective of ‘Zeut’, future cooperation could take place only within the national-religious bloc. “Benny Gantz is one of the direct people responsible for nurturing the Oslo concept in the security establishment,” Feiglin claimed, adding that this promotes a progressive line that values the lives of the enemy over the lives of IDF soldiers, a policy that, לדבריו, directly led to the October 7 massacre.

As recalled, Feiglin said in an interview with Dana Varon that he has been working for nearly a year to create partnerships. Feiglin said he approached, by every possible means, all the right-wing figures and ideologues who are “warming up their engines.” Feiglin’s proposal was intended to prevent ego battles over candidate placements, by establishing a joint technical bloc in which representatives of the parties would be incorporated alternately in a “round-robin” format. To determine fairly who would receive the top spots and who would head the list, Feiglin proposed relying on a public poll that would present two simple questions, the first, how many mandates each party would be worth if it ran alone, and based on the result, the balance of power on the list would be determined, and the second, which of the leaders is the public’s preferred candidate to lead the entire bloc.

Despite the efforts, the move did not receive cooperation from right-wing figures. When asked why he got a cold shoulder, he explained that the difference lies in the fact that Zeut puts everything on the table openly and transparently.
