Disappointed with Religious Zionists, rabbis weigh new party
Rabbi Benny Kalmanson said he and other Zionist rabbis are exploring a new right-wing party, citing disappointment with the Religious Zionist Party
Assessment
A group of Zionist rabbis is publicly signaling a potential split from the Religious Zionist Party, driven by dissatisfaction with its current direction. This move could fragment the right-wing religious vote in Israel, reshaping coalition dynamics. The key question is whether this exploration will materialize into an actual party or remain a pressure tactic ahead of elections.
