New Right's Shaked: It's us or Gantz

If the New Right does not receive enough votes to enter into a coalition, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will form a leftist government following the election, Justice Minister and New Right co-founder Ayelet Shaked said on an Israel Hayom-i24NEWS election broadcast Sunday evening.

"I think that for all right-wing voters, if they really want a right-wing ideology, they should vote for the New Right," Shaked said.

 

The broadcast was the first in the weekly series, #IsraElections2019, which is hosted in English and in French by i24NEWS broadcaster Nurit Ben and Barbara Sarar, along with Israel Hayom Editor-in-Chief Boaz Bismuth.

Shaked said that right-wing voters needed to learn from the 2009 and 2003 elections, when, she said, the Likud turned its back on its voters.

"We've seen how when the Likud was strong, with 40 seats for example, Ariel Sharon led the [2005] disengagement from the Gaza Strip. When Ehud Barak sat with the Likud in the Netanyahu government after the 2009 election, it was in effect a left-wing government," Shaked said.

Shaked also characterized Israel Resilience, under the leadership of former IDF Chief Benny Gantz, as a left-wing party.

"People need to understand that it's either us or Gantz's party. We are an ideological right-wing party. I and [Education Minister Naftali] Bennett have proved ourselves to our voters, and we know how to go in and implement policies," she said.

According to Shaked, although the Right has been in power for years, people were feeling that they had "voted for the Right and gotten the Left."

When Bismuth asked Shaked about a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Shaked responded, "We definitely believe that Israeli law should be applied to Area C, and we've talked about that for years, and that is our plan."

When asked if she thought there was a chance for Likud and the New Right to run on a joint ticket, Shaked answered, "That's not on the table," even if the New Right were invited to do so.
