PM aide says negative campaigning works on ‘non-Ashkenazi’ voters

Channel 12 releases a recording of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s senior aide Natan Eshel saying that the premier’s negative campaign works well on “non-Ashkenazi” voters.

Eshel appeared to be referring to its base of voters from Mizrahi communities — Jewish Israelis of Middle Eastern descent — often in the periphery, who have long supported Likud

Eshel also calls Likud minister Miri Regev a “beast” but admits she’s the best of anyone in the part at the fear-mongering campaign.
