Members of the two Knesset religious Zionist factions National Union and The Jewish Home celebrated the Mimouna together Saturday night in Lod, in a show of unity.

Chairman of the National Union MK Yaakov Katz (Ketzele), MK Zvulun Orlev, Uri Orbach, and former MK Nissan Slomiansky, visited the home of Aaron Attias, founder and one of the leaders of Lod’s Gar’in Torani and CEO of the pre-military academy in the city, who is widely influential in bringing unity to the religious Zionist ranks.

MK Yaakov Katz (Ketzele) repeated his earlier announcement that if the two factions do not run as one, he would remove himself from the campaign.

Hundreds of activists who had arrived to celebrate the Mimouna applauded the MKs announcements that there was no other option for their two factions but to run a united list in the next Knesset elections.
