Yesh Atid joins appeal to bar extremist Otzma Yehudit from running

The Yesh Atid party’s representatives on the Central Elections Committee announce that they will join an appeal by Labor and Meretz to the committee to nix the candidacy of Otzma Yehudit members Itamar Ben-Gvir and Michael Ben-Ari from running in the election.

“The decision is a result of Yesh Atid’s commitment to do everything in its power to prevent the entry of [Meir] Kahane’s followers into the Knesset,” the party says in a statement.
