Likud Unveils Reserved Spots for Security Figures and Legal Experts

The Likud party has introduced a prominent series of reserved spots at the top of its electoral list, aimed at appealing to broader audiences and strengthening its security and values-driven wing. Among the prominent names is Brigadier General (res.) Amir Avivi, founder of the HaBitchonistim movement and a veteran of senior IDF positions, including deputy commander of the Gaza Division and head of the IDF Chief of Staff's bureau.

Alongside him, Talik Guili has been given a reserved slot. She is a torch-lighting ceremony honoree and the mother of Yasam police officer Master Sergeant Roni Guili, of blessed memory, who fell on October 7 and whose body was subsequently recovered from the Gaza Strip. Another prominent reserve placement is Elisha Madan, a reservist soldier who was critically wounded in Beit Hanoun, lost both legs, and became a symbol of rehabilitation and heroism.

In addition to security and symbolic figures, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has placed attorney David Peter on the list. Peter is a former researcher at the Kohelet Policy Forum who has represented the government and ministers in major constitutional petitions before the Supreme Court.

Against this backdrop, renowned multimillionaire Oren Dobronski, well known to many from the television show "The Sharks", whose reserved spot had already been announced, earlier announced his withdrawal from the list due to his unwillingness to relinquish his American citizenship. At the same time, he stated that he still aims to serve in the future as a professional minister in the field of artificial intelligence.
