Kulanu MK Azaria drops out of Jerusalem mayoral race

Kulanu MK Rachel Azaria announces her withdrawal from the Jerusalem mayoral race, and throws her support behind the believed frontrunner, Likud’s Environmental Protection Minister Ze’ev Elkin.

“I’m proud of the historic opportunity to be a woman candidate for mayor [of Jerusalem] and break that glass ceiling,” she says at a press conference in the capital Wednesday evening. “I’m withdrawing my candidacy out of a sense of responsibility for Jerusalem.”
