Finance Minister and Religious Zionist Party leaderBezalel Smotrichurged new immigrants to back his party in Israel’s upcoming election, telling The Jerusalem Post thatRZPhad championed many measures to help olim settle in Israel. “Remember, the Aliyah Minister was from our party,” he noted, referring to Minister Ofir Sofer. “We introduced tax exemptions fornew immigrants, recognition of foreign diplomas, rental assistance, and greatly expanded the work of the Aliyah Ministry. We want our brothers and sisters to come here and feel that this is their home. ”Smotrich added that his party is “committed to Israel’s security,” stressing RZP would set out to “put an end to the disastrous idea of dividing the land, handing over territory, and establishing a terrorist state in the heart of the Land of Israel. ”In addition, Smotrich pointed to the party’s work supporting judicial reform – a process to limit the courts’ power that was championed by the coalition prior to theIsrael-Hamas War– saying he would “ensure that we have a real democracy, where the Knesset, the government, and the judiciary do not step on each other’s toes. ”As finance minister, Smotrich also stated he and his party “led the economy through the longest and most expensive war in Israel’s history,” adding that with him at the helm, Israel has been given “a strong shekel, a rising stock market, and a high-tech sector breaking records. ”“We serve all the people of Israel, just as the State of Israel does, and I believe we are deserving of a great deal of public trust,” he concluded.
