Chairwoman Ayelet Shaked of the Yamina Party said, Tuesday morning, that Itamar Ben-Gvir and his Otzma Yehudit Party must show responsibility and withdraw their candidacy in the September 17th Knesset elections.
Interviewed by public radio Shaked explained, "In the first round, we realized that we must unite into large parties that pass the percentage threshold [for entering the Knesset -ed.]. Otzma Yehudit will not pass the blocking percentage and its two mandates [Knesset seats] will move to the left."
