With 61 days to go until municipal elections take place across Israel things are heating up on local campaign circuits. 

There was some news in Jerusalem today that many residents were hoping for with the news that left-leaning political factions would merge together to consolidate their electoral lists. 

In a statement welcoming the news, the centrist Hitorerut group said that the decision would help to present a united front against what they said was the rising threat of extremism in city politics. 

Far-right nationalist and ideologue Arieh King (Deputy Mayor) is the most polarising candidate in the election race so far. King is endorsed by Itamar Ben Gvir, Israel's highly controversisal far right lawmaker who is widely viewed as having drawn inspiration from Kahanism.
