Orit Struck Reveals Netanyahu Considered Holding Rabbis' Prayer Inside Gaza Strip
Orit Struck, Israel's Minister of Settlement and National Missions, disclosed on Friday during a prayer event near the Gaza Strip that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had contemplated allowing a group of rabbis to conduct a prayer inside Gaza. Struck explained that she had submitted a letter to Netanyahu signed by 20 senior rabbis from the Religious Zionist community, requesting to hold the traditional Elul penitential prayer within the Gaza Strip this year. Despite initial consideration, Netanyahu ultimately declined the request. The event took place at Migdal Kisufim and was part of a broader prayer gathering facing Gaza. The discussion occurred amid ongoing political and security tensions surrounding the Gaza border. The article also references the upcoming 2026 state budget approval scheduled for March 30, 2026.
