As with any election campaign, this time too the spirits are warming in religious Zionism. In the background is the demand of Minister Bezalel Smutrich, whose partner is also Ayelet Shaked, to make primaries in religious Zionism and thus compile the list for the Knesset. The Jewish House, on the other hand, insists that the requirement is to oust Rabbi Rafi Peretz from the list.

In recent days, Rabbi Peretz sounds particularly angry about Shaked. According to him, Shaked almost dismantled the political representation of religious Zionism when she left with Bennett to the new right, was given the opportunity to lead a list in the last election and failed, and now - despite everything - is trying repeatedly at his expense. In closed talks with his people, Rabbi Peretz said: "How is there any thought to bring Ayelet back? If I were to bring seven mandates to the top of a list of religious Zionism - they would kick me, criticize me. She acts like nothing happened. All in all, they (Bennett and Shaked) almost crushed religious Zionism, even though it received a prize - the first place on the list and failed, and now again want the first place ?! I lived in a quiet and calm place, brought me to save the business, we did a good job this time First, we brought five mandates, six with Rabbi Eli Ben Dahan, and now she starts everything from the beginning ?! She has no self-respect ?! "

In the closing conversation, Rabbi Peretz wondered: "Want to go back to the Jewish home? Happily. Get on the list and contend when the time comes. What do you want to do again?" The Jewish Home Chairman added: "It's a shame she and Smutrich did one hand to hurt me. In the end, it harms religious Zionism and the entire national camp. "

Shaked's response said: "Rabbi Rafi, who is currently bringing a percentage of polls - who will not speak of seven seats. Also, a political leader should not fear primaries. Democratic procedure is not ousted. His party center requires primaries. refusing".

Meanwhile, another tension, centered around by Rabbi Rafi Peretz, is his refusal to allow unification between his party and the National Union Party led by Smutrich. "Israel Today" learned that at a crucial meeting held earlier this week at the home of religious Zionist rabbis, Rabbi Chaim Druckman, Rabbi Peretz rejected all the union proposals that those present had raised.

At the meeting, Smutrich suggested openly dealing with members of the Jewish Home Center. Although such a move might have been very convenient for a burst - it also rejected it. Instead, it only required running on a shared list, while maintaining differentiation between the parties, although there were no significant ideological gaps. His position angered those in attendance, who warned that in the current state of affairs, both parties would not pass the blockade and disappear.

It should be noted that Rabbi Peretz is lonely in his position, even among members of his party. His colleague, MK Moti Yogev, also believes that one of the parties is one. According to sources in the Jewish House, Rabbi Peretz is working to push Yogev to an unrealistic place in the Knesset list, but Minister Peretz has denied it.
