Likud

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has offered Brigadier General (res.) Chico Tamir a reserved spot on the Likud list for the upcoming elections. This move follows a shortage of security experts in the party.

The Likud minister reached 23rd place in the primaries, but due to reserved slots, she was pushed to an unrealistic position. Itamar Ben Gvir did not rule out her joining Otzma Yehudit. Following the results, Golan attacked "briefers on behalf of the PM," claiming she was deemed "too right-wing" for the government's future plans.

Discourse between Likud and Otzma Yehudit is intensifying, but a position submitted by Likud just two days ago against MK Ginsburg, who moved from Blue and White to Behad, could have thwarted the move.

Following intensified criticism of the Prime Minister and claims that his inner circle is working to exclude her from the party, it has emerged that the Otzma Yehudit chairman has held talks with the Likud MK.
