Smotrich Links Religious Zionism Vote to Opposition to Palestinian Statehood

Bezalel Smotrich urged voters on Wednesday to support Religious Zionism in the election he described as taking place next Tuesday. In a Hebrew post on X, he linked voting for the party to opposition to the establishment of a Palestinian state. He told supporters to place the party’s ט׳ ballot slip in the ballot box, presenting that vote as a way to defeat the statehood idea. The campaign message also linked to his full interview with Abu Ali Express.
