First Likud MK publicly backs Sa’ar in case of Likud primaries

Likud MK Michal Shir says if party leadership primaries are held, she will support Gideon Sa’ar, who today called for primaries to be held and said he would run against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Shir, who previously was Sa’ar’s political adviser, tweets: “For a party that prides itself on democracy, leadership primaries are not a choice but a duty. In the race I will support Gideon Sa’ar, the best-suited person with the best skills for forming a government and safeguarding the right wing’s values.”
