The Democrats chairman Yair Golan will hold a joint press conference with “leading figures” in the anti-government protest movement at his party’s headquarters this evening at 5 p.m. to announce that they are joining the left-wing party.
According to Hebrew-language media reports, among those joining the party are tech entrepreneurs Moshe Radman and Ami Dror.
The two were part of a widespread movement protesting the government’s contentious judicial overhaul.
Radman has previously made waves by comparing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, while Dror has described the premier as “Satan.”
