Tekuma center members chose last night (Sunday) their list for the next Knesset and left the MK Yaakov Katz (Ketzele) outside.
As party chairman, MK Uri Ariel was elected. The one who served until now as chairman of Ichud Haleumi, MK Yaakov Katz (Ketzele), is not part of the list.
After Ariel the ones who were elected are former CEO of the Rabbinical Courts – Harav Eli Ben-Dahan, Zevulun Kalfa, chairman of the Yesha Human Rights - Orit Sitruk, Harav Hillel Horowitz – one of the leaders of the Jewish community in Hebron, and legal Director of Forum for the Land Israel - Nachi Eyal.
Center members of Tekuma rejected a compromise proposal that would have set Ketzele in the second place, that being according to the instruction of the Rav of Kiryat Arba, Harav Dov Lior.
Last week, voters from 'Habayit Hayehudi' chose their representatives to the Knesset, when at the head of the list Naftali Bennett was elected, followed by former MK Nissan Slomiansky and Chairman of 'My Israel', Ayelet Shaked.
Now, after the parties chose their representatives, the parties will begin assembling the unified list .
