Reservists from the religious Zionist sector publicly criticized Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, accusing him of refusing to meet with them and prioritizing Haredi interests, according to reports. The statement marks a significant rift within the coalition's religious Zionist base.
The statement, published on Sunday, quotes reservists saying they have been 'sold to the Haredim' after Smotrich allegedly refused to meet with them. The accusation is attributed to the reservists themselves and has not been independently verified. The development reflects growing tensions between religious Zionist and Haredi factions within the coalition.
