MK Michael Ben-Ari, the head of Otzma Leyisrael, spoke to supporters Wednesday following his party’s failure to enter Knesset. “Unfortunately, we failed,” he said. “We did not succeed in winning the nation’s trust.”

“The nation trusts Lapid and Yechimovich, and sent us out of the place where decisions are made,” he added. He thanked party activists and supporters “for making the journey with us, and for your dedication.”
