Political arena

On the political level, Ambassador Gilad Erdan addressed the possibility of establishing a new party. In an interview with i24 as published in News in Real Time, Erdan said: "It pains me that the national camp is giving up on the issue of equality in burden sharing - our ultra-Orthodox brothers must serve in the IDF." Erdan noted that he has not yet made a final decision regarding the continuation of his path in the local political arena.
