Far-right party bucks calls to drop out of elections: ‘We’re here to stay’

Itamar Ben Gvir, head of the far-right Otzma Yehudit party, says his party will not drop out of tomorrow’s elections amid pressure to do so from Prime Minister Netanyahu and his right-wing religious allies.

“We came to politics to change, to present an alternative,” Ben Gvir says at a press conference in Jerusalem. “We’re here to stay.”
