The Religious Zionism party claims that Minister Amichai Eliyahu of Otzma Yehudit is responsible for spreading false SMS messages against Bezalel Smotrich, according to which he joined Shas and prevented the appointment of city rabbis. The party noted that the identity of the senders was revealed through the Elections Committee, and that this is not the first time Otzma Yehudit has used digital tools against the national camp.

The Religious Zionism party claimed today (Friday) that Minister Amichai Eliyahu of the Otzma Yehudit party is behind the distribution of false SMS messages against party chairman Bezalel Smotrich. The party accused that the Association of Community Rabbis, headed by Eliyahu, distributed anonymous messages claiming that Smotrich joined Shas and prevented the appointment of many from Religious Zionism to the position of city rabbis. Religious Zionism noted that the identity of the senders was revealed following the directive of the Elections Committee allowing verification of the source of the messages. It was further stated that this is not the first time Otzma Yehudit has used digital tools against parties of the national camp, mentioning a bot network exposed by the 'Fake Reporter' organization. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the issue in an interview and claimed that the 'Push' system is funded by Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, but the article notes that no supporting evidence was presented for this claim.
