Likud claims Elkin disgruntled over portfolio, placement in party

In response to Ze’ev Elkin’s announcement, the Likud party claims he’s disgruntled over his place on the party slate.

“Water Minister Elkin skipped from Kadima to Likud and from Likud to Gideon [Sa’ar] simply because he didn’t get into the top ten [slots] in Likud and didn’t receive the job he wanted. Gideon’s party is a refugee camp for defectors who failed in the democratic primaries in Likud and are unable to get elected,” Netanyahu’s party says.

Elkin placed 12th in the party primaries.
