Likud secretariat approves party’s electoral slate
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Likud secretariat approves the party’s slate of candidates for the upcoming Knesset elections.
The 35th spot on the list goes to former Kulanu lawmaker Tali Ploskov, after Kulanu MK Roy Folkman announced earlier this week he wouldn’t run in the September 17 vote.
The closure of the slate indicates Likud will not reserve a spot for Itamar Ben Gvir of the extremist Otzma Yehudit party. Likud has been pressuring the United Right electoral alliance to absorb Otzma Yehudit, while United Right is calling for Likud to give him a spot.
