Kahlon confirms his party will run with Likud if new elections called

Kulanu chairman Moshe Kahlon issues a statement confirming that his party will run on a joint slate with Likud if snap elections are called.

“We have decided that if the elections for the 22nd Knesset are held [this summer], the party will run on a joint slate with Likud in the elections. We will all continue serving as a socioeconomic, nationalist right-wing party,” he says.

Kahlon goes on to express hope that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will succeed in forming a government ahead of the Wednesday night deadline, adding that another round of elections would cost Israelis billions of shekel.
