Elkin denies he will drop out of Jerusalem's mayoral race

Despite rumors to the contrary, Environmental Minister Ze'ev Elkin denied that he will drop out of the Jerusalem mayoral race. "It's all spin," said Elkin. "I am waiting for the prime minister's decision, which will decide at the beginning of next week. The municipal committee will not discuss the issue until the Prime Minister's decision, and I believe that the Prime Minister's decision will be positive for me. Until he decides - everything is spin. I firmly believe that I am running. "
