Following publications against religious Zionism in Shabbat leaflets, Otzma Yehudit appealed to the Election Commission against the Blue and White Party.

The petition reads, "A campaign that makes ugly and unacceptable use of the State flag to defame and incite against the national-haredi (hardal) public in the State of Israel; a dedicated, ideological, and values-based public, all in an attempt to siphon votes in the Knesset campaign."
