I bless any candidate who will stand against me, as long as the rules of proper behavior, truth and justice are followed. I believe there will still be many surprises along the way, including announcements of support for me from broad groups of residents. I also bless the unity, but it distresses me that they have excluded a woman from being mayor, which is something everyone hoped for..
-- Mayor of Bet Shemesh Moshe Abutbol, upon hearing the announcement by Minister Naftali Bennet about closing a deal to stop supporting Aliza Bloch for mayor of Bet Shemesh and support Eli Cohen instead.
