New Right to run independently in March elections

Naftali Bennett and Ayelet Shaked’s New Right party announces it will run independently in the upcoming March elections.

In a statement, the party — which failed to clear the electoral threshold in the April 2019 elections, and ran on a joint ticket with other right-wing parties in the September vote — says it’s the only way to ensure a broader right-wing victory.

The party says it will work on siphoning votes from the right-wing Yisrael Beytenu and centrist Blue and White.
