Benny Elon, a veteran Israeli politician, has cancer. Elon, a rabbi and leader of the nationalist-religious National Union bloc, told Yediot Achronot on Tuesday that a tumor was discovered in his vocal cords earlier this month. Though he is to begin chemotherapy next week, Elon said he does not intend to withdraw from the race for the March 28 general elections.
