Netanyahu may reserve a Likud spot for son Yair, former prime minister's spox. Hefetz predicts
Nir Hefetz predicted Netanyahu could reserve a Likud slot for Yair, while arguing the party's new slate will do little to attract undecided voters.
Former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu may reserve a spot on the Likud party list for his son Yair, according to Nir Hefetz, former spokesman for the current prime minister. Hefetz made the prediction during an interview on 103FM. The speculation comes as Netanyahu considers how to utilize his reserved spots on the Likud slate following the party's primaries.
Hefetz expressed his belief that Netanyahu may place his son around the 15th spot on the list, noting that the individual's name is also Netanyahu. He also stated that it would depend on whether Yair's mother, Sara, wanted him to be on the list. Hefetz noted that the Likud primaries have resulted in a list that is unlikely to bring about the desired outcome on Election Day.
He argued that the election would primarily center on Netanyahu himself rather than the individual ranking of Likud candidates. Hefetz further criticized the slate's ability to appeal to voters in the political center, stating that there were no individuals on the list who could attract undecided voters.
