Otzma Yehudit Defends Candidate Amidst Old Conflict Allegations
The Otzma Yehudit party has responded to reports concerning a candidate, Eliyahu, who is running on their Knesset list. The party stated that the incident in question is an old dispute from years ago in a moshav (agricultural community).
According to Otzma Yehudit, Eliyahu claims he was boasting falsely and that the situation stemmed from a typical neighborly dispute with heightened emotions. The party emphasized that Eliyahu has no criminal record and is a genuine public servant who has dedicated decades to assisting IDF soldiers and supporting reservists and residents of northern Israel.
Otzma Yehudit expressed pride in having Eliyahu on their Knesset slate, asserting his commitment to public service. The party's statement aimed to counter allegations and highlight the candidate's positive contributions.
