Setback for Smotrich as Avraham Zarviv rejects party offer

Enemy media: A setback for Smotrich, as Rabbi and religious court judge Avraham Zarviv, the D9 bulldozer operator who lit a ceremonial Independence Day torch, rejected an offer to receive a reserved spot on the party’s electoral list. People close to the rabbi said a ministerial position was also discussed, but he turned it down for several reasons, including his desire to remain connected to all the people of Israel rather than to something partisan.
