The Spokesperson's Office of the Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) Party has denied reports that Dr. Michael Ben-Ari has decided not to run in the upcoming Knesset elections for fear he would be disqualified, as happened in the last election.
According to a party statement, "We wish to make it clear that a final decision has not yet been made on this matter, and in the last few days, discussions and consultations have been held in the secretariat of the party.
Any publication according to which a final decision was made on the matter is without our knowledge."
