Netanyahu and Smotrich to Meet Rabbis for Election Prep; Ben-Gvir Excluded

Netanyahu and Smotrich to Meet Rabbis for Election Prep; Ben-Gvir Excluded

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Bezalel Smotrich will meet with nine rabbis on Thursday to prepare for the 2026 elections, excluding Itamar Ben-Gvir. The conference, titled "Saving the Right," will focus on strategy and voter turnout for the right-wing bloc. Ben-Gvir was reportedly unaware of the meeting and views his exclusion amid ongoing tensions with Netanyahu as a sign of Netanyahu's plans to form a government without Otzma Yehudit. The situation is exacerbated by a recent surplus agreement between Likud and Religious Zionism, which excluded Otzma Yehudit.
