New Right Chairman and Defense Minister Naftali Bennett announced again this evening (Saturday) that the New Right movement is running independently - "as a national state party, of the whole people." In a post on his Facebook page, he wrote: "I know you are all tired of this endless election cycle. I understand that. It is really frustrating. But - a
We don't have the luxury of getting tired. We don't have the right to be indifferent. This is our country! So stand up, shake off the frustration, and fight for our country!
"I will be clear: the New Right movement is running independently as a national state party, of the whole people. We will succeed, and in a big way. Who are we: - A tough hand against the Arab enemy - Judaism brings people together without coercion - Unity in the people - Human freedom - Restraining the powerful counter committees - Strengthening business owners and the independents - Restraining legal activism - We are not giving up our country's territory; sovereignty. You already know us. We come to work, not to barbarize. We come to fix, not to complain. We love our people, even if there are disagreements. We call on our supporters, and Zehut voters, and Kulan voters, and religious Zionism, and in general, anyone who connects with the good Land of Israel - come to the New Right!" Former MK Moshe Feiglin, chairman of the Zehut party, announced on Friday that the party will not run in the elections for the 23rd Knesset. "'Zehut' will not run on a third date. There is currently no attention to its message in the political space. It will echo its vision outside of it, and will return to the race when Israeli society is ripe for change," Feiglin said. Feiglin said that the right wants Zehut to run in a technical bloc that will absorb votes from Lieberman. "These things are being said openly in the media, and it is possible that we will actually face such a possibility. The possibility of running one way or another within the framework of religious Zionism is also being raised. "But today I understand that from this position, the position that is enslaved to the old and paralyzing space of the right and the left, Zehut's voice will not be heard. I may be a MK - but in Zehut's message it will die." He claims, "Zehut must run on its own - it must not join any party, and if it is currently unable to do so - it must wait, act as an ideological movement, generate renewed attention for its ideas and rebuild the right space for its message - the space of identity. "Don't worry - the opportunity to realize our ideas in politics - will come. Because Israeli reality does not stand still. From the existing consciousness, no political side has real solutions, for any fundamental challenge that Israeli society is currently facing. Not in the economy, not in security, not in health - not on any issue." "Reality needs an answer from Zehut. Let consciousness mature. We will not bury our diamond again in the swamp of the right and left space. We are here for the people of Israel, not for politics. When the conditions are ripe in which politics will serve our message instead of burying it - we will use it again.".
