The Achi Yisraeli (My Israeli Brother) movement headed by Adina Bar-Shalom, daughter of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, has approved its list for the 21st Knesset.
Half of the top ten of the list is made up of women. Among the notables after Bar-Shalom: second place - retired general Gideon Sheffer, the most decorated pilot in the air force and third place - diplomat and former IDF spokesperson Ruth Malki Yaron. Bar-Shalom said the list, "represents all the sectors that make up the fascinating mosaic of Israeli society: religious, haredi and secular, women and men, Mizrachim and Ashkenazim, Jews and minorities, center and periphery. We are all Israelis and we are campaigning for everyone and in the name of everyone."
