Netanyahu's Likud Targets Ben-Gvir in Election Campaign

The Likud party is launching a campaign against Itamar Ben-Gvir's Otzma Yehudit party to win back voters ahead of the elections. Internal polls show Otzma Yehudit potentially gaining 12-15 seats, with Likud aiming to reduce this to 7-8. Shas is also planning a similar campaign to reclaim right-wing voters. The strategy aims to weaken Otzma Yehudit without harming the broader right-wing bloc.
