Rabbi Abergel’s Achi Party Reportedly Set to Leave Election Race

Rabbi Abergel’s Achi party is reportedly expected to leave Israel’s election race after coming under substantial pressure. The contacts preceding the expected move included a Zoom conversation with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as well as visits by rabbis. The reported development concerns the party’s anticipated departure from the contest; it does not establish that a withdrawal has already taken effect. The rabbis who visited were not identified, and no date for the party’s expected withdrawal was specified.
