Gilad Erdan, former Israeli ambassador to the UN, revealed on Tuesday evening the name of his new party: 'Unity Party'. In a speech delivered in Beit Shemesh, during which he also announced the official joining of MK Aliza Bloch to the party's ranks, he said that the party's slogan would be 'Real right. Real enlistment.' Erdan explained that the party is called so 'not because we agree on everything - but because there is no other choice', and clarified that 'unity is enlistment for everyone, it is shared responsibility, it is our way and our commitment - it is our name'. Bloch, former mayor of Beit Shemesh, announced her joining last night, after considering offers from people of the 'third bloc'. Last week Erdan announced the establishment of the party and the placement of Yuli Edelstein in second place on the list. Erdan criticized the Likud: 'Likud representatives no longer represent the party's voters whom I love so much', and addressed right-wing voters 'who do not want to see evasion' and right-wing voters in the opposition 'who do not want to see the left': 'We are your home'.
