Likud

The court’s decision will determine whether parties may use the information during the October 27 election to identify likely supporters who have not voted and target them with calls and messages.

Bithonistim chief Amir Avivi, disabled IDF reservist Elisha Medan, government attorney David Peter, and former Labor MK Eli Goldschmidt also joined Likud ahead of the October election.

MK David Bitan argued that the failure to publish the names of the candidates for the reserved slots impaired the ability of secretariat members to prepare for the vote.

Two new petitions were filed seeking to overturn the Central Elections Committee's decision allowing political parties to track voters who have cast ballots ahead of the High Court hearing this week.

Hendel and Zelekha’s projected Knesset entry would leave both Netanyahu’s and Eisenkot’s blocs short of the 61 seats needed to form a government, forcing them to seek additional coalition partners.

What changed on Sept. 1 was that Netanyahu, after a refusal from Ben-Gvir, managed to get Smotrich to run in a single list with Moshe Feiglin’s Zehut party. 

The Israeli Right that formed them was largely secular, nationalist, and security-minded. The Israeli Right replacing it is increasingly religious and messianic.

The Israeli Right is not merely wasting votes. It may be wasting the makings of an entire government. The tragedy begins when each concludes that being qualified for first makes third unacceptable.

Initially, she was given third place on the list, but was raised to second after Yitzhak Wasserlauf volunteered to drop down one place.

Thirty-three years after Netanyahu’s live TV confession, Ruth Bar speaks publicly for the first time about their professional relationship and his early political instincts.
