Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Yamina head Ayelet Shaked are planning to host events in English ahead of the September 17 election.

The head of Yamina has two English events upcoming – on Friday night in Jerusalem, and on September 15 in Beit Shemesh.
Naftali Bennett, her co-leader of the New Right party that is running in Yamina, is doing English campaign events in Jerusalem on September 8 and in Gush Etzion on September 12.
The only other head of a party expected to cross the threshold who currently has an English event planned is Stav Shaffir, who will be addressing English-speakers at the Carlton Expresso Bar on Monday, at an event organized by Tel Aviv Internationals.
