Netanyahu and Smotrich Launch Right-Wing Election Campaign in Jerusalem

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich addressed a major right-wing emergency conference at the International Convention Center in Jerusalem, kicking off grassroots preparations for the upcoming Knesset elections.

Launching the Ground Campaign

Organized in cooperation with Yesha Council Chairman Israel Gantz, the event brought together hundreds of local authority heads, activists, and public figures from across the country, including Judea and Samaria. Organizers announced that Gantz will lead a special headquarters initiative aimed at maximizing right-wing voter turnout. The conference served as the practical starting point for the field campaign, establishing infrastructure designed to secure a victory for the national camp on election day.

During the evening, Netanyahu praised Knesset Constitution Committee Chairman Simcha Rothman, stating, You are doing exceptional work in the battle against judicial dictatorship. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich also addressed the gathering, emphasizing unity.

We are embarking tonight on a united and meaningful path, together with Prime Minister Netanyahu and Yesha Council Chairman Israel Gantz, leading a broad effort to increase right-wing voter turnout to secure a victory for the national camp and continue our work for another four years, said Smotrich.

Mobilizing the Right-Wing Base

Yesha Council Chairman Israel Gantz underscored the determination of the grassroots movement, noting that local leaders are uniting shoulder-to-shoulder to safeguard the future of the state and settlement efforts in Judea and Samaria. The conference followed an earlier meeting hosted by Gantz, which included Netanyahu, Smotrich, and prominent religious Zionist rabbis, focusing on bridging divides and mobilizing spiritual leadership to support the nationalist camp.
