The ultra-Orthodox party has launched a massive campaign in ultra-Orthodox population centers, aiming to secure a second and third mandate from within the ultra-Orthodox public.

Simultaneously, the party has established a special headquarters dedicated to reaching out to members of the Religious Zionism community. This move follows a series of in-depth polls conducted for the party, which sources say revealed that tens of thousands of young religious Zionist men and women have been left without a political home.

On one hand, this is a public that wants to vote for a right-wing party, but on the other hand, it is alienated by the fact that existing right-wing parties supported traditional ultra-Orthodox parties and moves that, in their view, harmed the integration of ultra-Orthodox individuals into the IDF. Consequently, the party identified a political vacuum of tens of thousands of undecided voters and decided to act.

To this end, it was decided to establish a dedicated headquarters for Religious Zionism, and in the coming days, party chairman Motti Leitner and candidate Dr. Nahumi Yaffe are expected to tour Alon Shvut, Tzur Hadassah, Ganei Modiin, and other settlements as part of efforts to expand the party's activity into the religious-Zionist public.

The establishment of the headquarters comes against the backdrop of reports regarding a meeting in recent days between the campaign leader of the Religious Zionism party and its Knesset candidate, Omer Rahamim, and Leitner.
