Jewish Home central committee approves merger with far-right party
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Jewish Home central committee approves chairman Rafi Peretz’s controversial merger with the far-right Otzma Yehudit party.
The national religious party’s internal body also votes to maintain the line-up of candidates it put forth in the September election, starting with Peretz, followed by MK Moti Yogev and Idit Silman.
The central committee also green-lights efforts to merge Jewish Home with Bezalel Smotrich’s National Union. The latter has yet to announce whether he will join the joint Jewish Home-Otzma Yehudit list, though the sides are reported to be nearing a deal.
