Former Israeli ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan and former Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein will launch their new party tomorrow at 19:15 Jerusalem, according to a ynet report. The announcement confirms that the press conference scheduled for Thursday at the same time — first reported by The Zioneer at 16:08 Jerusalem on Wednesday — is in fact the party's launch event.
Earlier reports cited by The Zioneer on July 30 indicated that the two were in advanced talks with former Knesset member Hezi Nehama and former Beersheba mayor Aliza Bloch. A July 22 report noted that Ayelet Shaked and Benny Gantz would not join the new party. Beit Shemesh Mayor Aliza Bloch may join at a later stage, according to an earlier thread item.
As The Zioneer reported on July 30, Erdan and Edelstein have been nearing a joint political run for weeks, with the new party expected to occupy a right-wing space. The party's name, platform, and full candidate list have not yet been disclosed.
