Dalia Itzik backs Sheetrit in second round
After her third-place finish in the first round of the election, Dalia Itzik says she respects the Knesset’s decision and congratulates Reuven Rivlin and Meir Sheetrit on their success in the first round. Itzik finished the first round with 28 of the 117 votes.
She says Sheetrit is her preference between the two and wishes him luck in the upcoming second round.
Unfortunately for Sheetrit, Itzik, who is not an MK, doesn’t have a vote in the election herself.
