Livni taps reporter Svetlova for Hatnua list
After former Hatnua MK Elazar Stern joined Yesh Atid earlier today, Tzipi Livni reserves a slot for Russian-Israeli journalist and Arab world expert Ksenia Svetlova on her joint list with the Labor Party for the upcoming elections.
Svetlova, an Arab affairs pundit with Channel 9 and fellow with the Mitvim foreign policy institute, will be given a realistic spot in the list. Her inclusion is seen by Channel 2 political correspondent Amit Segal as a “explicit appeal to the immigrant community in light of [Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor] Liberman’s weakening.”
