Chairman Rafi Peretz of the United Right bloc said, Monday evening, "The United Right, under my leadership, will support Member of Knesset Yuli Edelstein as Knesset Speaker."
Writing on Twitter Rabbi Peretz said, There is not doubt that MK Edelstein has proven his ability to run the Knesset in recent years. His Zionist life story, which symbolizes the revival of the Jewish people in his country, adds a tailwind to the new Knesset."
