Promised reserved slot, then backtracked: Ex-hostage's mother slams Yair Golan

Einav Zangauker claims that during a meeting with Yair Golan in February, she was offered a reserved spot near the top of the Democrats’ Knesset slate and that the agreement was subsequently reaffirmed.

Promised reserved slot, then backtracked: Ex-hostage's mother slams Yair Golan

Former hostage Matan Zangauker's mother, activist Einav Zangauker, expressed disappointment on Monday after Democrats Party leader Yair Golan withdrew a promise to include her near the top of the party's Knesset slate. Zangauker claimed she was assured by Golan in February that she would be placed immediately after incumbent Knesset members in the upcoming election list.

Golan later announced he would not include her, citing respect for the decisions of party members and confidence in the slate they had chosen. Despite his withdrawal, Golan offered Zangauker a significant role in the campaign and expressed hope for continued collaboration. The Democrats Party finalized its Knesset slate after more than 97,000 registered members voted in internal primaries.
