PM said to be considering adding far-right former MK Eli Yishai to Likud list
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is considering adding the chairman of the far-right Yachad party, Eli Yishai to his Likud list, Channel 13 reports.
Yishai’s slate did not receive enough votes in the last election to pass the electoral threshold. He is known for ardently homophobic views, which also risk scaring away more liberal Likud voters, such as those who support openly gay MK Amir Ohana.
