The Blue and White party officially files its party slate for September’s election with the Central Elections Committee at the Knesset, registering almost exactly the same list as it did for April’s election.
The only changes were made to the order of the candidates beyond number 30 on the list.
The list was presented by MK Yoaz Hendel from the Telem faction within Blue and White, MK Orna Barbivai from Yesh Atid, and MK Orit Farkash Hacohen from Israel Resilience.
After filing the slate, Hendel says: “We are happy to be here on the one hand, but on the other hand, sad that it comes at the expense of billions of shekels out of the pockets of Israeli citizens for unnecessary elections.”
Farkash Hacohen describes the slate as “varied, wide-ranging and incredibly representative,” and adds that “it has not changed since last time and neither has the leadership because are committed together to bringing about a real change.”
