Not betraying her party!
Israel’s Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked publically turned down the recent calls for her to switch parties to the Likud and set herself up to become a viable successor to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
A national poll found that if elections were held today and Shaked changed parties to head the right-wing Likud, she would win 33 seats, the same amount Netanyahu would win.
Australian businessman and philanthropist Rabbi Joseph Gutnick said that he has been advising Shaked to leave the religious right party Habayit Yehudi and called on its leader Naftali Bennett not to “be selfish” and support the move.
Speaking about Shaked to the Jerusalem Post, Gutnick said “I am very happy to endorse her to be Bibi’s heir” and said he is supporting her potential candidacy “for the sake of shleimus ha’aretz (maintaining all of the Land of Israel) and the Jewish world.”
But in an interview with Galei Tzahal radio on Tuesday, Shaked said she is remaining in her party and if she will run for prime minister in the future, it will only be after Bennett tries it first.
“Bennett and I get along well. He knows that I will not surprise him in one way or another,” said Shaked who identifies as a secular politician and is considered one of Israel’s most active and influential legislators.
Bennett himself also discussed the recent chatter and said, “there are those in the Likud who are trying to create a ‘divide and conquer’ (ploy). It won’t work. They do not know Ayelet, she’s not that kind of person. We will try to leverage (her popularity) to gain mandates for the Bayit Yehudi.”
because you caused your party rabbi to leave
you.
He left because Mr. Bennett was associating
Bayit Yehudi with an alternative lifestyle Organization.
Mr Bennett would therefore make a Great
Prime Minister.
Mr. Bennett is an inspiration for us all.

She says “she is thankful to Gutnick for the compliment and that Right now, we have a prime minister and after him Bennet is most fit, but in the distant future everything is open”
She is obviously open to Gutnick’s plane. Kol Hakavod Yossel! Keep doing the Rebbe’s shlichus!

It is a good thing that she said she will run for prime minister. She’s obviously not going to undermine Bennet right now in public, but the fact she said she is open to becoming prime minister is a great thing and is exactly Gutnicks scheme without her actually saying it.
She is a winner following The Rebbe MHM👀👀👀💪💪👍👍👍
Love you!!
