Shai Kellech has submitted his candidacy for the Likud primary elections, vowing to run in the national race. In a statement, Kellech said his two main challenges are defeating the 'deep state' and strengthening the Jewish character of the state, and fighting the refusal to serve (sirvanut), which he says will intensify with the entry of Omri Ronen and Nimrod Shaffer from the 'Democrats.' Kellech, who comes from a kibbutz and the air force, said he is confident he can stand up to them.
