Shas Support Fractures in Mizrahi Heartland, Benefiting Far-Right Ben Gvir
תורגם ותומצת מתוך The Times of Israel על ידי baba
Support for the Shas party has significantly declined in its traditional Mizrahi strongholds, with voters in cities like Netivot shifting towards Itamar Ben Gvir's Otzma Yehudit party. This fracture is attributed to internal party rifts, a controversial stance on military conscription, and the influence of a breakaway rabbinic dynasty. Shas's national vote share and parliamentary seats have dropped, reflecting a broader identity crisis and a perceived disconnect from its base.
