Avishai Ben-Haim with a message to Netanyahu: "There is no need for external reserved spots"

During the program "The Patriots," Dr. Avishai Ben-Haim issued a firm call against external reserved spots in party lists. Ben-Haim emphasized that there is no need for candidates coming from outside the primary system, and that there are enough worthy figures within the party.

"There is no need for external reserved spots," said the panelist, adding: "Whoever looks at this list, whoever ran in these primaries, sees magnificent and good people." He specifically addressed the issue of women's representation, arguing that women are missing from the lists, but the solution is not to bring them in from the outside.

Instead, Ben-Haim suggested integrating women who already ran in the primaries. "Do not bring from the outside," he urged. "You have the stunning Osnat Zohar, you have Madar Shmueli, you have Dr. Ruth Kabasa-Abramzon. Put them in." His call emphasizes the importance of giving a platform to internal and talented female candidates.
