Eli Ben Dahan to receive 28th spot on Likud list reserved for Jewish Home MK — report
Jewish Home MK Eli Ben Dahan will be placed on the 28th spot of the Likud list, which Netanyahu agreed yesterday to reserve for a candidate from the national religious party in exchange for its merging with the extremist Otzma Yehudit faction, Haaretz reports.
Ben Dahan initially opposed the merger, but came out in support of it last night ahead of the Jewish Home central committee vote to approve the deal.
