Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef: "There is no chance that Netanyahu will repent - Eisenkot perhaps yes"
The Rishon LeZion and former Chief Rabbi of Israel compared the two candidates for Prime Minister, and provided a surprising statement regarding the chairman of "Yesh Atid" who leads the Change Bloc
Assessment
A former chief rabbi has inserted himself into electoral politics by publicly ranking the likelihood of two candidates repenting. He sees almost no chance for the current prime minister but leaves the door open for the opposition leader. This kind of religious commentary on political figures signals an attempt to shape voter perceptions ahead of the election.
