Smotrich says national religious parties to form joint ticket
National Union chairman Bezalel Smotrich says that right-wing religious parties would join forces ahead of the April elections.
Speaking at a conference in Jerusalem he says that “it’s time to make concessions so that we can can unite and run together,” including the Jewish Home, the far-right Otzma Yehudit and Eli Yishai’s faction.
“We don’t have the privilege of wasting time about our differences in approach,” he says.
Smotrich also slams former Jewish Home party leader Naftali Bennett, saying he “has left religious Zionism.”
