Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIn remarks to Israeli television, an unnamed Likud MK claims to have voted for opposition Yesh Atid MK Karine Elharrar to the Judicial Selection Committee.
“Netanyahu knew that she’d be chosen and wasn’t surprised by the result,” the lawmaker tells Channel 12 news. “We saved Netanyahu from Yariv Levin.”
“If Karine Elharrar wasn’t chosen, there would have been [another] Gallant incident here on steroids,” the MK adds, referring to mass protests that broke out in late March after Netanyahu announced he was firing his defense minister, a declaration he later retracted.
