Against Sa'ar, for Netanyahu: Shas' campaign - 'Lion needs a strong bibi'

Shas launched a support campaign on Wednesday for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in the background of the Likud's primaries. In the campaign ads, the slogan "Arya needs a strong Bibi - guard the right bloc", with pictures of party chairman Aryeh Deri alongside Netanyahu. The campaign will star in a number of early stages, including the Jerusalem National Buildings, the Tel Aviv Exhibition Gardens and the Maccabiah Village in Ramat Gan.

"It is precisely during this period that we are trying to challenge Netanyahu as the leader of the right-wing bloc and as prime minister, it is important for us to demonstrate public support and support for the prime minister," said Deri. "After the success of the block that prevented the establishment of the left government, it is important to continue to support Netanyahu as the only candidate who can unite all right-wing parties and lead to victory."

The party launched the campaign in the shadow of the primaries in the Likud, and although it does not explicitly intervene, the slogan is firm support for Netanyahu, who is facing Gideon Sa'ar. The message will be published in the days leading up to the ruling party's internal elections in cities with the Likud's major polling stations. In addition, the campaign that embraces Netanyahu politically is also intended to prevent possible leakage of Likud votes to Likud.

In the previous election, Shas' central campaign slogan was "Bibi needs a strong lion," in an attempt to attract as many traditional votes as possible beyond Haredi voters. Deri led the party to success with nine seats, despite Netanyahu's Gawald campaign near the election day. Helped the timing of the previous elections, as it was the month of Elul, where forgiveness is said. Representatives of the party and its affiliated rabbis held dozens of conferences attended by thousands in which they also conveyed messages to vote for the party.

After the dissolution of the 22nd Knesset, Deri made it clear that "the right-wing bloc continues to work and work together for a third election campaign. I hope the right-wing bloc gets 61 seats and we can establish a right-wing and stable government led by Netanyahu, which will serve the people of Israel for at least four more years." In his words, Deri did not explicitly promise that the bloc would act as a bloc even after the upcoming elections.

Mazzouz has hundreds of Likud students, and Netanyahu will make the visit in an effort to publicly support him. MK Shlomo Teary from the Likud, who is also a student of Mazuz and one of the major commanders in the chair, heads the meeting between the two.
