"AJC does not normally comment on political parties and candidates during elections," an AJC statement said. "But the views of Otzma Yehudit are reprehensible."

"The American-Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) published a statement Friday in support of the American Jewish Congress (AJC), which condemned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's alliance with right-wing parties that united with Otzma Yehudit.

"AJC does not normally comment on political parties and candidates during elections," the AJC statement said. "But the views of Otzma Yehudit are reprehensible."

The statement further said that "it is up to Israel's Central Elections Commission to determine, as it has done in the past, whether Otzma Yehudit can be listed on the ballot on Election Day."

AIPAC, considered one of the most influential lobbies in the corridors of the American administration, said that "the committee has for many years been careful not to meet members of this racist and despicable party."
