Justice Minister and New Right chairwoman Ayelet Shaked spoke at the press conference Thursday evening on the occasion of Alona Barkat's joining the party.
"Everyone has what motivates him/her to enter politics. From conversations with Alona, I understood that what motivates her is the desire to do for all of Israel what she did in Beersheva, to give equal opportunities to every child, to narrow gaps and push the periphery forward. We want her to do it, if you give us the strength and the support. Alona Barkat is an Israeli social revolutionary, "said the justice minister.
"Alona Barkat is a social revolutionary in Beersheva. Bennett instigated a revolution in education and excellence for the children of Israel and I did it in the legal system. 'Israel is back forever': whoever dares wins. Whoever dreams is winning, and Alona Barkat joins the party of daring dreamers, "Shaked said.
