Kulanu declares that it will run alone in upcoming elections
Despite reported attempts by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to pressure the Kulanu party to fold into Likud or merge with another right-wing party such as Yisrael Beytenu, which is also teetering on the electoral threshold, Moshe Kahlon’s party says it will run on its own in the upcoming election.
“We have learned in recent months that everyone has a price for work arrangements. Kahlon has no price,” the faction says in a statement.
