Chairman Miki Zohar of the Likud Knesset faction said, Monday evening, that he was sorry to hear that Chairman Itamar Ben Gvir will keep the Otzma Yehudit Party in the race for the 23rd Knesset.
Zohar said, "Ben Gvir's decision to run hurts the right's chance to win the election. The media will embrace him and the left will applaud him because with his own hands he is giving them the government. Tens of thousands of votes will go down the drain. What a waste. He had the opportunity to step down from the campaign with dignity, but he chose an irresponsible path while risking the integrity of the country. Sad."
