Speaking with Galei Tzahal (Army Radio) host Rino Zror on Sunday, Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked, who is number two on the New Right party list following Naftali Bennet, insists that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s announcement that he will annex Yehuda and Shomron is nothing more than electioneering.

Shaked stated that the prime minister is threatened by their party, aware of the fact New Right will be taking voters from Likud, hence his sudden announcement that he will annex Yehuda and Shomron if elected to another term. Shaked feels there is no credibility to the announcement, which many feel will bring Likud additional right-wing votes on Election Day.
