Ayelet Shaked will not run in upcoming elections

Former Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked has decided not to run in the upcoming elections. Shaked was skeptical from the start about the third bloc's chances of success. Senior Likud mayors, including Yehiel Zohar, have been urging her to join the party for some time. Zohar stated this week that if she had run, she would have secured a top-ten position. Political analysts assess she may join Likud in the future.
