Economy Minister Barkat hires private investigators to ensure there is no fraud at Likud primaries
Barkat's team believes that there is a plot in the Likud to ostracize him and prevent him from running again, with fears of possible fraud during the party's primaries.
Economy Minister Nir Barkat hired private investigators to monitor the Likud primaries to prevent potential fraud, according to sources. The investigation team, consisting of undercover personnel placed at various polling stations, will be particularly vigilant at the counting center where the voting data is processed. These investigators are equipped with recording devices to gather real-time evidence in case of suspicions of fraud, bias, or irregularities.
Barkat's decision to hire the team has raised suspicions of a coup attempt against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, particularly following the October 7 incident. Some believe that Netanyahu and his associates are trying to prevent Barkat from continuing his political career. However, Barkat's team maintains that their sole purpose is to ensure the integrity of the primaries and that if any wrongdoing is discovered, they will take corrective action and hold the responsible parties accountable.
