Eitam and Levy join National Union party merger

Israel National News reports that Knesset members Efi Eitam and Yitzhak Levy are now merging with the National Union party.
After lengthy negotiations, Eitam and Levy have decided to run together with National Union party leaders Benny Alon, Tzvi Hendel, Uri Ariel and Aryeh Eldad. The National Union party was elected with seven mandates, but the Yisrael Beiteinu Party's MKs Avigdor Lieberman and Michael Nudelman split away from the list. The other two National Union MKs are Eliezer Cohen and Yuri Stern. The merger left open the question which Knesset members will be the front runners for the list in the next election.

National Union leaders have forecast that the party will at least double its strength in the next elections, which are scheduled for next year but which most analysts predict will take place by December.

The leader of the merged parties will call on the NRP to join in order to present a solid nationalist front.
I would strongly advise the National Religious Party (abbreviated as NRP for short) to do so, since it is very important to take a solid stance against all this withdrawal/expulsion nonsense. And considering how otherwise incompetant the NRP's been for many years, unable to take a convincing stance and caring more about jobs in the government, that's exactly why now, it'd be a very good step towards proving themselves...and surviving politically.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
