Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked said today the decision to leave the Jewish Home Party was difficult for her, but that the move was right and helps to increase the right-wing bloc. "Leaving Jewish Home was hard for me emotionally but intellectually it was the right thing to do. Shaked emphasized that the New Right is an Israeli challenger who will run in the future for State leadership. "Once in the Justice Ministry they didn't let soldiers receive benefits and today they do," Shaked said. Shaked wants to continue serving as Justice Minister in the next term as well: "I have a lot more work to do."
