Netanyahu and Smotrich Launch Joint Campaign Effort, Ben-Gvir Excluded

Netanyahu and Smotrich Launch Joint Campaign Effort, Ben-Gvir Excluded

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Bezalel Smotrich are launching a joint campaign event called "Saving the Right" to mobilize right-wing voters for the upcoming Knesset elections. The initiative aims to build a network of thousands of activists and yeshiva students to encourage hundreds of thousands to vote. Notably, Itamar Ben-Gvir was not invited to the event, which organizers attribute to its specific focus on Religious Zionist ground operations, not a deliberate exclusion. This collaboration follows a recent surplus votes agreement between the Likud and Religious Zionism, excluding Otzma Yehudit.
