Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appoints freshman Likud MK Avichai Boaron as head of the party’s field operations ahead of the October 27 Knesset election.

He will serve as director of Likud’s field headquarters, working with the party’s campaign team and coordinating with municipal field activists and mobilizing voters.

“Avichai proved his organizational and field capabilities when he led the pro-government rallies about two years ago, and he possesses extensive knowledge in voter turnout operations. I am confident that together with Avichai and the Likud field base, God willing, we will achieve victory in the upcoming election,” Netanyahu says in a statement.
