Ron Huldai announces he is running in the upcoming elections as leader of a new party which will be called “The Israelis.”
In a press conference, Huldai says the problem is that “we have grown accustomed” to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s corruption and divisive style of leadership, and says he will get Israel out of its current despair.
