With eight days until the election, Moti Leitner, chairman of the Haredi Public Party, has issued a definitive statement shutting down speculation about a possible withdrawal from the race.
In an interview with journalists Sefi Ovadia and Yanir Kozin, Leitner addressed behind-the-scenes contacts and various attempts to end his candidacy. He revealed that significant offers have been placed on the table: "There are very generous value-based proposals, offers that touch on haredi education, high-level secular studies for those who want them, advancement of higher education and employment."
Despite being approached by various political actors, Leitner made clear he has no intention of abandoning his Knesset bid. "There's talk like sand and nothing to eat, we're running to the end," he stated firmly.
