Moshe Feiglin Invites Iran Analyst Eliyahu Yosian to Join Zehut Party Ahead of Elections

Moshe Feiglin, chairman of the Zehut party, has offered Iran affairs commentator Eliyahu Yosian a position in his party as the upcoming Knesset elections approach. This offer follows a period of growing collaboration between the two, including joint appearances at conferences such as one at Ariel University two months ago and another recent event where Feiglin was the main speaker.

Yosian confirmed his intention to enter politics and serve in the next Knesset but emphasized he will not do so at any cost. He also acknowledged ongoing discussions with Itamar Ben-Gvir, leader of Otzma Yehudit, though those talks have yet to materialize into an agreement. When asked to choose between Ben-Gvir and Feiglin, Yosian declined to pick, expressing respect for both.

Zehut’s spokesperson stated the party is engaging with all factions in the national camp to build a broad and strong national-religious government for Israel. Notably, Zehut has already signed a joint run agreement with former Otzma Yehudit members Michael Ben-Ari and Baruch Marzel, who were disqualified by the Supreme Court but are seeking to run again.
