Screen, here's the news

Yuli Edelstein and Gilad Erdan will launch their new party this (Thursday) evening.

According to a report in Israel Hayom, in recent days there have been attempts to add prominent names to the new list, with former Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon among those considered.

However, Kahlon responded negatively.

According to a report on Channel 13, former minister Ayelet Shaked will also not join Gilad Erdan and Yuli Edelstein in the new party.

Among the candidates being considered to join Erdan and Edelstein's list were former Beit Shemesh Mayor Aliza Bloch and Col. (res.) Hezi Nechama, but as of now, no final signings have been made.

Meanwhile, last night, Channel 13 published quotes from Erdan in closed conversations: "I will not add elements from the government of change to the party. Aimed at the leadership of the right-wing camp.".
