American-Israeli political pundit Caroline Glick will be joining Israeli Education Minister Naftali Bennett and Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked’s new party ahead of April elections, the Breitbart contributor announced on Wednesday.

“Together we will work to protect Israel, to increase its security and to enact truly right-wing policies,” said Glick, now in the running as part of the “New Right” Party. “This is an emotional day for me. I call on all those whose hearts beat with a Zionist spirit, secular and religious, to join us. This is your home.”

“Caroline is a relentless Zionist fighter,” said Bennett. “With her, we are building today the dream team of the Israeli right in order to expand the right-wing block, and so that Israel can be triumphant again.”

Shaked labeled Glick “a courageous fighter symbolizing the real, pure, conservative right. She will be a great addition to the Knesset from our side.”

Bennett and Shaked left the religious, right-wing Jewish Home Party late last month, hoping to unite religious and secular Israelis.

“When journalists make these requests, they’re really made on behalf of the public, not to bury the issue and respond 11 months later,” Randy Mastro, a former deputy New York City mayor, told JNS.
“Under any Republican administration, Israelis are never going to be sanctioned for simply advocating against aid to Hamas or advocating against illegal Palestinian construction,” Eugene Kontorovich, a law professor, told JNS.
The USAID Inspector General’s office is “also working to prevent Hamas-linked staff from jumping to other aid organizations operating in Gaza,” a senior Trump admin official told JNS.
“Regardless of how it is ultimately classified, incidents like this send shockwaves through the Jewish community,” Rabbi Noah Farkas of Jewish Federation Los Angeles told JNS.
Prosecutors said the man caused damage to both facilities before sending texts boasting about the vandalism.
Despite Israeli objections to previously reported terms, the official said Washington is confident that all U.S. allies “will get on board” with the emerging agreement.
