Retired colonel Moshe Peled, a brigade commander in the Armored Corps, a member of Kibbutz Beit Hashita and deputy minister of education during the period of Zevulun Hammer, has announced his support for Naftali Bennett and Ayelet Shaked's Hayemin Hehadash Party. Peled, who serves in the reserves today as a tank leader, said, "For years, I've been waiting for a party to call home. A party that would be home to good Zionism, to true Zionism. To the Zionism of activid Israelis, both from the labor movement and from other places." He added, "I think that this is a huge move. Therefore I am for it and therefore I will back Shaked and Bennett and I will do everything to make this party rise, grow and blossom and lead the country."
