National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has initiated a broad effort to transfer most activists, elected officials, and political infrastructure of the joint lists with Religious Zionism in local authorities to his Otzma Yehudit party, according to a report by Srugim.
The report by Srugim details a planned large-scale transfer of local political assets—including activists, elected officials, and organizational infrastructure—from the joint lists that Religious Zionism ran with in municipal elections to Ben Gvir's Otzma Yehudit party. The move is described as a strategic effort to consolidate Otzma Yehudit's grassroots presence ahead of future local races. As The Zioneer previously reported, Ben Gvir had also been working to establish an Otzma Yehudit faction within the Likud party, reflecting a broader push to strengthen his party's independent political infrastructure.
