2nd place and joint leadership: Ayelet Shaked will contest the new right in the elections

Ayelet Shaked will be contesting the new right in the upcoming elections - Thursday, Walla NEWS found out. Shaked will be placed second on the list after Defense Minister Naftali Bennett, but will serve in a joint leadership position and will have authority with him in compiling the list, holding office elections, budgetary decisions and more.

Near the dispersal of the Knesset, Shaked studied the continuation of it, and, among other things, the possibility of returning to the leadership of religious Zionism. She, along with Minister Bezalel Smutrich and political activists, tried to promote open primaries in favor of a large religious list that will contest the upcoming elections and unite within it the Jewish home, the national union and Jewish power. These attempts were largely unsuccessful because of the staunch opposition of Jewish House Speaker Rafi Peretz to be part of such a move.

Bennett and Shaked announced the establishment of the new right on the eve of the April election. They left the Jewish home together and faced education and law ministers (respectively) for the 21st Knesset. The new party did not pass the blocking, and was missing only 1,400 votes.

A month after the party failed to pass the blockade, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed Bennett and Shaked unannounced, and the two ran for election to the 22nd Knesset, with no position in government or in the Knesset. In this election, the new right wanted to run as a technical bloc along with the Jewish Home and the National Union and Shaked was the one leading the list.

Despite this, the party received seven seats, partly because of the voting campaign led by Netanyahu just before Election Day. Since the last election results, Bennett has been very close to the prime minister and the two have had a close political relationship. During the coalition negotiations, Netanyahu feared that Bennett and Shaked would join a government led by Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz, and in order to shore up such a possibility, Netanyahu appointed Bennett as defense minister.
