Among voters who watched the debate, Komatireddy led 81% to 19%, while James led 59% to 36% among those who did not watch it. About one in five respondents said they watched the debate, according to the survey.
Moti Leitner, chairman of the Haredi Public Party, speaking about Aryeh Deri.
"They are afraid.
I would be happy to sit down, look Aryeh Deri in the eyes, and say to him: Tell me, aren't you ashamed? In the last four years you haven't done a thing. They are working to obstruct Haredim who want to take responsibility. He does not dare make leadership decisions that are good for the country.
This time, we take responsibility. Vote Zach at the ballot box."
This is what “Free Palestine” stands for.

Scientists from Macquarie University in Australia set up their research footage by having a honeybee sting a clear gel that mimics human flesh so they could see — for the first time — how the intricate internal machinery keeps operating even after the insect has flown away.
Their findings were published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
“We’ve known since as early as 1910 that the venom sac of a honeybee stinger empties into a chamber with little pumping elements called valves, but until now we didn’t know exactly how they work,” said study lead Fiorella Ramirez Esquivel, an entomologist at Macquarie University in Australia.
“If you’ve ever been stung by a bee, you’ll know it’s a very painful process, but now we’ve been able to identify all the working parts packed into the tiny stinger.”
Unlike an ordinary needle, a honeybee’s tiny 2 millimeter-long stinger comes equipped with two rows of tiny, saw-tooth blades called lancets, armed with barbs that face outward like a harpoon or a fishhook.
Each of the lancets has a valve attached that sits inside the pumping chamber. The blades work alternately on a system of rails, grabbing flesh and pulling the stinger deeper into the skin.
A tiny pumping machine helps drive the process, while a venom sac supplies the chemical cocktail.
“The unique geometry of the valves is the key; they act as collapsible pistons and – by pumping in opposite directions – they’re able to deliver a continuous flow of venom,” said Ramirez-Esquivel.
When the bee flies away, the stinger keeps working autonomously.
The bee typically dies within minutes to hours from fluid loss and nervous system failure, while its stinger remains embedded and continues delivering venom.
Wasps, hornets, honeybee queens, bumblebees and carpenter bees all have smooth stingers so they can attack an unlimited number of times.
Worker bees are the only honeybees equipped with the unique stinging apparatus. There are roughly 60,000 of them in each hive with one mission — to protect their Queen at any cost.
The scientists noted the bee’s biological design mechanism could provide important knowledge for future medical devices like insulin pumps based on the same principals.
A family text message on her sister’s phone is what triggered the raid on embattled “Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-Minn.) Washington, DC, home, according to a bombshell report.
Federal investigators seized the phone of Omar’s sister, Sahra Noor, earlier this year, as they began looking into whether Somalia-born Omar conspired to commit immigration fraud when she came to the US, three people familiar with the matter told the New York Times.
The text messages were used to secure a federal judge’s approval for Department of Homeland Security agents to raid Omar’s home Monday, when they seized the congresswoman’s phone, passport, notebooks and personal computers
Noor, who currently lives in Kenya, skipped a scheduled event in Rochester, Thursday, to promote her new book, “Salt in the Snow: A Somali Immigrant Story,” citing a “family emergency” amid the fallout from the raid.
Federal agents also went dumpster diving to collect DNA from Omar’s trash before the raid, sources told NewsNation.
“To me, if they are obviously trying to obtain DNA, then, yes, that is a very easy get, especially if it was discarded even in a trash can,” former FBI special agent Tracy Walder told the outlet.
The evidence is expected to go before a federal grand jury in Minnesota, to determine whether Omar and her family lied when they immigrated to the US in 1995.
The feds have issued subpoenas to several members of Omar’s family.
Omar and her family were admitted to the US as refugees after Somalia’s civil war, even though Omar’s father, Nur Omar Mohamed, was a high-ranking colonel for the brutal dictator who killed an estimated 200,000 people before was overturned. Sources previously told The Post he misrepresented his identity when he came to the US.
The Minnesota lawmaker has claimed she became naturalized in 2000 at 17, through her father.
When asked about the seizure of Noor’s phone, a spokeswoman for Omar declined to comment directly, instead alleging a personal vendetta.
“Trump has spread lie after lie about the congresswoman in a desperate attempt to justify his extraordinary abuse of power,” Jackie Rogers told the NYT in a statement.
“This is politically motivated and an escalation of Trump’s personal vendetta against her lasting over a decade.”
