Disputes: Religious Zionism sources said Thursday to Israel Today that the main focus of the controversy between Jewish Home Minister Rafi Peretz and new right-wing speaker Naftali Bennett is the location of Jewish power chairman Itamar Ben Gvir "The biggest point of contention between the New Right and the Jewish people is the integration of Itamar Ben Gvir and Jewish power into the list," the officials said after a meeting between Peretz and Defense Minister Naftali Bennett.

"After much efforts by the entire leadership of the Jewish House, including senior rabbis for the unification of religious Zionism under one party and when the other side were not even ready to meet, the Jewish House is now also preparing for independent elections," party officials said. "We are still reaching out to our members of the National Union and the New Right to come and conclude today on a joint run with us and Jewish power. If there is no progress, a news conference will come in on Sunday with new figures who have agreed to join," they added.

"A little fox tries to sabotage unity"

It should be noted that at this time, there is no direct communication between Peretz and Smutrich, and the two are "communicating" using Twitter and media messages. "A lot of reporters, like an orchestra in perfect coordination, tweet about 'loathing' between me and Rabbi Rafi Peretz, Jewish Home Chairman. The coordinated timing and phrasing shows that there is some little fox from a vineyard that tries to sabotage the unity that is forming and issued a false briefing to all reporters. Friends, "Smutrich argued

According to Smutrich, "there was and was not created (loathing). There is indeed a controversy between Rabbi Rafi and me. I demand true unity and democratic elections and he refuses. A matter of fact yes, but God forbid."

The Jewish House and Jewish power agreed on a joint run in the elections

The chairman of the National Union also says that "I have been working in recent days with determination and responsibility to create unity as wide as possible, which would be worthy of public trust, and maximize the electorate of religious Zionism to the right of the Likud."

In response to his tweet, the Jewish Home Chairman, Rabbi Rafi Peretz, responded on Twitter, saying "Bezalel is my friend. Thanks for the stuff. We have a big responsibility, let's meet and close an agreement between us ... ".

Earlier today, the new right-wing chairman Naftali Bennett met with Rabbi Peretz, after last night's meeting with Smutrich. Bennett's new right notes that if there is no unification they are preparing to recruit other members of the party. It should be noted that the closing date for the Knesset is Wednesday night.
