Minister of Culture and Sport Miri Regev (Likud) has congratulated Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat for joining the Likud party.
"I believe that this is the right step for him and for the Likud," said Regev. "The Likud is the largest movement, it is a nationalist, Zionist, and social movement that always encourages widening its ranks. It's only natural the the mayor of Jerusalem, our capital, will also be part of the nationalist camp and the Likud."
