Israeli rabbi is a native of Brno. He votes for Netanyahu and corresponds with people in Gaza

Rabbi Yitzhak Seifert, originally from Brno, has lived in Israel for over thirty years and recently moved to Ashkelon. He serves as a rabbinical judge, making decisions based on Jewish law, particularly in family matters. As Israel approaches elections, he expresses support for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu despite some disagreements, citing a lack of better alternatives. The political landscape is tense, with Netanyahu's opposition led by Gadi Eizenkot and Naftali Bennett. Seifert discusses the dire situation in Gaza and maintains contacts with Palestinians through social media. He also notes the growing religiosity in Israel post-conflict and reflects on the impact of the war in Ukraine, showing solidarity with the Ukrainian people. In Sderot, a town affected by Hamas attacks, residents express relief at the current calm but acknowledge the ongoing tragedy in Gaza.
