| Description | Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai launched a new center-left political party, The Israelis, on Tuesday to run in the elections in March, recruiting Justice Minister Avi Nissenkorn as his second-in-command.
Launching his campaign with an impassioned speech, Huldai said he could not “stand idly by” as Israel is led by a “crazy” right-wing government, which he charged was eroding the country’s core values and threatening its democracy.
He lamented that Israelis have “grown accustomed” to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s alleged corruption and divisive style of leadership, and vowed he will get Israel out of its current “despair.”
“We have grown accustomed to a crazy government. I will no longer stand idly by, I am here to announce a new party,” he said, recounting his history as an IDF fighter pilot, as an educator and — for the past 22 years — as the mayor of Tel Aviv. |
