Yesha Council founder Israel Harel expressed his support of the Habayit Hayehudi (Jewish home) party for Knesset. Harel said, "The National Union is not a democratic party run by the public. Its nature makes its pseudo-haredi and is run by – and actually belongs to - the rabbinical arena."
Harel also slammed Likud Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu, saying, "The things said about him in Kadima propaganda are, unfortunately, true." (Kobi Nahshoni)
