Attorney Itamar Ben-Gvir announced on motzei Shabbos that his party, Otzma Yehudit, hopes that following elections, he will appoint attorney Yoram Sheftel to the High Court of Justice. He spoke at an election rally ahead of attorney Yoram Sheftel.

Speaking at a Bat Yam election gathers attended by over 1,000 people, Sheftel attacked the High Court for invalidating the candidacy of Otzma Yehudit’s Michael Ben-Ari. “The dictators of the High Court disqualified Dr. Ben-Ari. A dictator, as is the way of a dictator, does not care what the people decide, but what he wishes to decide, even if it contradicts the will of the political parties. Then the High Court of Justice ruled as it did and caused frustration among more than 100,000 Jewish voters.”

He called on the activists: “This frustration must not weaken our hands, so that it will not cause us not to go to the polls, but rather to go to vote and convince at least one other person to vote. If the list of the United Right-Wing parties in Knesset will be eight or more seats, there will be no rebirth to the dictatorship of the High Court.”
