Incumbent Beit Shemesh mayor, Mayor Moshe Abutbul, attacked the Chairman of Bayit Yehudi (Jewish Home), Naftali Bennett, following Bennett’s comments yesterday: “The upcoming city elections in Beit Shemesh are Beit Shemesh’s last chance. No other [elections] battle is as significant as the fight for Beit Shemesh in the upcoming municipal elections.”
According to the Mayor, each party has the right to put up its own candidate, “but one must also remember that Beit Shemesh is a city where people live; a city that has 100,000 residents living a peaceful life, and most of them live in harmony and without friction.”
