Zehut Party Reveals New Candidate Targeting Russian-Speaking Voters After Merger with Ben Ari
Moshe Feiglin, chairman of the Zehut party, announced a new addition to his party list aimed at Russian-speaking voters following the merger with Michael Ben Ari. In an interview with the Shabbat newsletter Olam Katan, Feiglin introduced Arkadi Motr, a popular figure on Channel 9, as the candidate representing the Russian-speaking community, marking this demographic as a core target for the party's campaign.
Feiglin also shared surprising insights from the party's internal polling, revealing that 42 percent of Zehut's voters do not come from the traditional right-wing bloc. Notably, 12 percent of their supporters previously voted for Avigdor Lieberman or left-wing parties. According to Feiglin, these findings provide Zehut with a unique strategic advantage in the political landscape, positioning it as the only party reclaiming right-wing votes lost to other blocs.
