Attorney Bat Tael Tegan, a candidate in the primaries of the Yoaz Hendel-led party, is publicly urging Israelis to engage with the Christian New Testament. The message, posted on Telegram, frames the initiative as expanding Israelis' familiarity with Christian scripture, outside the typical Jewish religious discourse.
In a Telegram message published Tuesday afternoon, attorney Bat Tael Tegan — a candidate in the primaries of the political faction aligned with former minister Yoaz Hendel — called on Israelis to "open the New Testament." The post frames her outreach as a religious-literacy effort, part of a broader public campaign since she announced her candidacy several weeks ago. No additional policy platform or theological details were provided in the message. Tegan gained significant social-media attention recently for a positive coverage thread, amassing over 2 million views across platforms. The Zioneer notes the declaration is presented as a personal initiative, not an official party policy.
