Shalom ponders whether merger will bring more mandates

Vice Premier Silvan Shalom (Likud) addressed the merger with Yisrael Beiteinu and said, "I ask myself will this bring us more mandates and I hear many people thinking it won't."

Speaking at a conference in Ramat Hasharon, Shalom said, "We need to hold a discussion on the merger. We need to do everything to maintain hegemony and not be led." (Nir Cohen)
