Naftali Bennett adds four female candidates to B’Yachad slate, bringing total women on list to 17
Those added to the list included Esti Ayalon Kubo, the former head of Israel's economic delegation to China.
Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has added four women to B’Yachad Party's Knesset slate, increasing the total number of female candidates to 17 ahead of the upcoming October 27 elections. The party, led by Bennett, is a key component of the opposition bloc aiming to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The newly added candidates include Esti Ayalon Kubo, a former head of Israel's economic delegation to China; Olessia Kantor, a social entrepreneur who founded the Lev Esh initiative; Bruria Naim Erma, the director-general of B’Yachad Party and former Transportation Ministry official; and Orly Harel, head of B’Yachad's Women's Branch and an artificial intelligence expert.
Bennett emphasized that these candidates represent a "true Israeli mosaic of top-notch women of action" and that their inclusion was based on merit rather than gender considerations.
