Journalists, but no politicians, at sparsely attended Likud event
The hall where the Likud party is holding its election party is oddly empty. Several dozen journalists are present at Tel Aviv’s Kvuzat Shlomo hall, but virtually no ministers or even backbencher MKs have arrived. There are also no activists in the hall, which usually serves the city’s Hapoel basketball team.
In previous years, top party brass has started arriving several hours before the polls close to engage with reporters and activists.
