Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly considering giving a reserved spot on the party list to Moshe Saada, a former senior police investigator.

Saada made a series of headlines in July with explosive claims that members of the country’s legal establishment were willing to overlook illicit activity due to fears that intervening in the matter would damage efforts to prosecute Netanyahu.

His primetime interview with Channel 12 on the issue was seen largely as a political gambit.

Parties have until tomorrow night to submit their finalized lists to the Central Election Committee in the Knesset. Netanyahu has several reserved slots on the Likud list that he can fill with his picks that have yet to be decided.
