The Likud party is facing “an unprecedented opportunity to return to power,” Jewish Home party candidate Naftali Bennet said Tuesday. The Kadima party’s decision to leave the coalition and the Judea and Samaria (Shomron) Council for Higher Education’s announcement that it will recognize Ariel University Center as a full-fledge university create a uniquely favorable set of circumstances, he said.
“For the first time, it has been proven that the decisions in Israel are being made by the elected leaders, not by far-left petitions in the media,” Bennet said. “This is a holiday for those who love settlement in the land of Israel.”
