Former Justice Minister: Smotrich deserves to win 15 Knesset seats
Former Justice Minister Haim Ramon praises Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich for advancing 'most far-reaching annexation measures' in Judea and Samaria
Assessment
A former senior political figure is publicly endorsing a current minister's performance on settlement expansion, framing it as a political success worth significant electoral reward. This signals that annexation policy is becoming a central metric for right-wing coalition loyalty and electoral positioning. The endorsement may pressure other coalition partners to clarify their own positions on territorial policy.
