MK Bezalel Smotrich (Jewish Home) expressed his deep sorrow over the passing of Rabbi Benny Elon.
"We are shocked and hurt over the passing of the late Minister Benny Elon. A scholar and a man of Torah. Rabbi Benny invested his energy in explaining and creating another vision that he presented to the world for the sake of the settlement enterprise and for the Land of Israel. May his memory be a blessing."
