Rabbi Haim Druckman, head of the Bnei Akiva yeshivot and a prominent leader of the settler movement, says following the right-wing rally held on Sunday that “there is only one Zionist-religious list and this is Jewish Home.”

Druckman, quoted by Israel National News, says he felt optimism following the rally but that voters “must not get confused” on whether to vote for Likud or Jewish Home. “A vote for Jewish Home is a vote for Mr. Netanyahu as prime minister, but it guarantees the government’s position on issues relating to the Land of Israel.”
“Those who hold dearly the land of Israel, the Torah of Israel and the people of Israel should see the complete picture, and in order to guarantee that the land of Israel will be part of the government, Jewish Home needs to be strong,” says Druckman.
“Jewish Home will take care of our educational institutions, the Jewish identity of the country and the wholeness of the land of Israel. You need to vote [for Jewish Home] and this is in any case a vote for Netanyahu,” he adds.
