Eli Ohana is not alone: Is Ofira Asayag also on her way to politics?
The Keshet 12 presenter and broadcast partner of the Beitar Jerusalem icon, whose name was mentioned as a candidate for a reserved spot on the Likud list, addressed in a message to Channel 12 news reporter Yaron Avraham the possibility that she might also run in the upcoming elections: "When you go, I will also consider it."
Following the intense debate over the past week and a half regarding Amit Segal's report that Eli Ohana is expected to receive a reserved spot on the Likud list for the next Knesset elections, the question has arisen: is Ohana's broadcast partner on Keshet 12, Ofira Asayag, also heading toward politics?
While Ohana gave an ambiguous answer, declaring that "it burns within me" when asked about the "political bug," Ofira Asayag provided a much more unequivocal response when asked if she intends to run in the upcoming elections.
