Leading rabbis endorse far-right Yachad party
An open letter published in Besheva, a newspaper targeted mostly at national religious readers, and signed by 19 leading Zionist-religious rabbis endorses the Yachad party headed by Eli Yishai.
If Yachad, polling at around four Knesset seats, passes the electoral threshold and enters the Knesset, far-right activist Baruch Marzel will be an MK. Marzel was disqualified by the Central Election Committee for his association with the Kach movement, which was outlawed, but the High Court of Justice overruled the decision and allowed him to run for office.
