The list that no one in the Likud wants to appear on

There are quite a few lists in the Likud that people would like to see their names on. Many would like to appear on the Prime Minister's reserved list for the upcoming elections, the list of 12 names that are voted on in the primaries that Likud members want to appear on as many times as possible. But there is one particularly secret, explosive, and embarrassing list circulating today in the corridors of the Likud that no one would want their name mentioned on, a list that could seal fates.

It has been known for many years that in the Likud, they live and breathe polls and tests. Some call it an obsession, and some will say it is the most important working tool of a ruling party that wants to feel the public, provide it with answers, and not be disconnected from the sentiments on the ground. They check everything: what bothers the public, which messages work, which decisions will be received with approval, who brings in votes, and what drives them away.

In the last year, alongside traditional polls, artificial intelligence models have also been introduced. The Prime Minister often talks about the AI revolution, and his circle has adopted these tools for the political world as well.

Every Knesset member was examined and scanned. Everyone. Not only on a national level, but also within their own center of power. In their city. Among their activists. Among the registered members who are supposed to vote for them. The models check influence, sympathy, public sentiment, electoral contribution, and whether their presence adds to the Likud or actually detracts from it.

Many would like to get their hands on the results of those tests, some would like to wave them around, some would like to make them disappear. Two of the tests conducted on Likud MKs and ministers are particularly intriguing: who are the people who drive voters away and who are the MKs whose presence has no influence at all on the potential voter.

The results, some of which reached 'Walla', are particularly interesting. Among the names mentioned there as those who drive voters away are: Eliyahu Revivo, Nissim Vaturi, Dudi Amsalem, David Bitan, May Golan, and Eli Dalal.

Another test that was conducted is which Knesset members are "ineffective." They don't add, they don't subtract, they simply don't exist electorally. Even when checking them in their city or their natural center of power, the influence is almost not felt. According to the tests, this list includes: Eti Atiya, Moshiko Passal, Shalom Danino, and again Eli Dalal, who, according to the models, fails to generate significant influence even in the area that has been perceived for years as his center of power in Netanya.

This is an important, interesting, and tabloid-style list, but it must be put into perspective. The models can analyze millions of data points, identify trends, and predict behavior, but they don't know how to vote in the primaries. On August 17, it will be the Likud members who decide what the list will look like.

Dudi Amsalem, for example, may be marked in some tests as someone who drives voters away from outside the Likud, but within the movement, he is still one of the most popular and powerful people. It is hard to see him remaining off the list.

Also, David Bitan, who recently clashed with Netanyahu over the election system and the scope of reserved spots, is not perceived in the Likud as an ideological rebel in the style of Yuli Edelstein or Dan Illouz. He made sure to clarify that he is with Netanyahu "through thick and thin," and his argument was about the method, not the leadership. In the Likud, with all the sensitivity to Netanyahu's status, there are quite a few members who understand the difference between an internal dispute and kicking the party.

Either way, the first answer will be received very soon on August 17 in the heated primaries that will be held in the party.
