Netanyahu Attempted to Convince Noam Party to Withdraw - And Failed
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently sought a meeting with Rabbi Zvi Tau, the spiritual leader of the Noam party, in an effort to persuade the party to drop out of the upcoming elections. Netanyahu's goal was to prevent the potential loss of right-wing votes that might not reach the electoral threshold. However, the initiative was unsuccessful as Rabbi Tau refused to meet with the Prime Minister for this purpose. Sources close to the Rabbi confirmed that the request was made but explicitly stated that the party's withdrawal from the race is not under consideration.
