Btw all of this has taken on practical importance to me in the past few days. Seeing the hostage release proposal, which is below stupid seeing that we have experience from the shalit deal (sinwar was released then), October 7, etc etc, and then looking around the government/ parties to see who would be best to pin hopes on leading Eretz Yisraels security so as to be a keili for Hashems miracles… And there’s literally no one.
The not frum crumble under the vast internal and international pressure (just look at this hostage plan from the best smooth talking diplomat).
The frum don’t really mix into Israel’s security, and mainly focus on frum matters such as the draft etc. Many of them were also told by their Rabbonim to support the withdrawal from gush katif, oslo etc. which we all see what it has led to.
We had a religious Zionist who also made incredible compromises of values.
There’s really no one. The only one who pushed the formulas which have been successful in EY, advised countless security members including Prime Ministers, effectively, and was proven right every time was The Rebbe. The Rebbe pushed for shleimus Haaretz (no giving away our land both because it’s ours and for security), shleimus haam (fought for Mihu Yehudi) and shleimus HaTorah (without the hundreds of shluchim in EY, the so called chilonim would not be as Mitzvah observant as they are- shabbos candles, kashrus, Yomim Tovim, not to mention baalei teshuvah etc etc etc)
He also advised on how to counter international pressure.
The Rebbe could also unite the people around him as he is well loved by many disparate populations there.
Really, all there is to do is to daven that the first stage of techias hameisim happen ASAP (Tzaddikim rise earlier), with Moshiach with them, and finish off the job he started.
Agav, Chabad cannot otherwise be part of the government, because the policy is to stay apolitical to be able to unite all yidden around Torah and Mitzvos. There have been one or two exceptions but this is the policy.
