Journalist Ben Caspit sharply criticized Prime Minister Netanyahu’s process of assembling the candidate list for the Likud party. Caspit expressed outrage and derision regarding the reported concessions made by Dobronsky, and the guaranteed placement (“shielding”) of a former Member of Knesset previously affiliated with the Labor party. He implied further contentious appointments are forthcoming, specifically mentioning Bardugo. The commentary suggests dissatisfaction with the strategic decisions and perceived compromises influencing the composition of the party’s roster. This critique highlights potential internal conflicts and power dynamics within the Likud party as it prepares for upcoming elections. The statement points to a broader dissatisfaction with the political process and concerns about the individuals selected for key positions.
