In response to the results of the Religious Zionism primary, Yesh Atid criticizes the party’s new electoral list.
“The list elected today is a misogynistic, homophobic, racist and dangerous list,” says the centrist Yesh Atid in a statement about the far-right Religious Zionism.
Yesh Atid suggests that opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu “will fulfill their messianic dreams and in exchange they will cancel his [ongoing corruption] case.”
