Jerusalem Local Elections  2023 - Hitorerut Announces Electoral List, Doesn't Field Mayor Candidate

There are 50 days to go until municipal elections take place throughout Israel including in Jerusalem. 

The election campaign in Jerusalem is shaping up to be a battle between two ideological camps.

On the one hand, that led by highly controversial mayoral candidate Arieh King, who advances a nationalistic ideology and has pledged to stand against Shabbat "desecration" in the city. 

And on the other a left wing bloc and Hitorerut (centrist) which is campaigning against the rise of extremism in the city. 

Yesterday Hitorerut chairman Adir Shwartz said that the party would not be fielding a candidate for the mayoral list but announced the party's electoral list which consists of 10 ranked candidates for office. Those nominated on the list include Shwartz (number one) and party deputy chair Miriam Sela (number two), economist Eyal Hashkes (number five), and Yaara Shilo (number four) who currently serves on the City Council. 

In a separate development, Rabbi Ian Pear, a rabbi at the egalitarian Shir Hadash congregation and a book author, announced that he would running on Hagit Moshe's list for office. The rabbi said that despite having previously dismissed Jerusalem politics as being "divisive" he would run in order to try to bring civility to local political affairs - as well as representing other olim (immigrants).
