The head of the Yachad – Ha’Am Itanu party Eli Yishai conducted an electioneering visit to the dati leumi camp in the capital on Wednesday 23 Teves. To date, the public has only been told about to persons on his list, Yishai and former Bayit Yehudi MK Yonah Chetboun. The dati leumi audience asked Yishai what comes next, and he responded that he is waiting for the go-ahead from the rabbonim to add an Ashkenazi candidate to the list. He added he is also looking for someone that will attract the more traditional voter, someone like IDF Colonel (reserves) Rabbi Moshe Hager, who heads the Yatir Mechina Yeshiva.
Regarding the possibility of running together with Dr. Ari Ben-Ari Yishai said, “there are probes, but not by me. The decision will be announced at the last moment.”
So far, the polls have not been favorable for Yishai as his party fails to meet the minimum threshold to enter Knesset.

Two persons. Or people.
Yoni Chetboun not Yona.
Dr. Michael Ben Ari
#1- Ben Ari has repeatedly expressed his desire to be on the list but Yishai has stated that he has not even discussed this matter and, certainly, he has not placed Ben Ari on the list.
Thank you changing the picture you use with the stories on Eli Yishai.
