After Netanyahu, Smotrich also calls on Otzma Yehudit to drop out of race

National Union party chief Bezalel Smotrich is following the lead of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and calling on the far-right Otzma Yehudit party to end its candidacy to prevent the loss of right-wing votes.

“This is your moment to prove you are not acting out of ego or a desire for revenge,” he says. “After all you don’t believe there’s even a hint of a chance you’ll pass the electoral threshold.”
