Tel Aviv mayor Ron Huldai formally announced on Tuesday that he is entering national politics and is forming a new party to compete in the upcoming general election called The Israelis Party.
Huldai was joined at the press conference by Justice Minister Avi Nissenkorn, who will be his number two in the party.
"I decided I could no longer stand on the side and be silent," Huldai said. "Israel can and must be run differently."
