A movement fleeing from a message: this is what a list shaped by draft dodgers looks like

An opinion column on Walla claims that organized Haredi party members, some of whom are not Zionist, had a decisive influence on the composition of the Likud list in the primaries. The list is conservative, with no new faces, and only two women in realistic slots: Regev (8) and Gotliv (20). The author links this to the legislation of conscription laws that favor draft evasion, and criticizes Miki Zohar for fabricating a story about the arrest of a deserter.

An opinion column on Walla criticizes the composition of the Likud list for the Knesset following the primaries. The author claims that organized Haredi party members, some from the Gur Hasidic dynasty and even non-Zionist, had a decisive influence on the composition of the list, becoming the 'X-factor' in political deals. He notes that the list is conservative, with few surprises, zero new faces, and only two women in realistic slots: Miri Regev (eighth place) and Tally Gotliv (place 20). The author links the Haredi influence to the legislation of conscription laws that prioritize draft evasion, citing as an example Minister Miki Zohar, who fabricated a story about the arrest of a deserter. He compares this to the past struggle against the 'new Likudniks' group that was expelled, and claims that the movement has surrendered to the values of the 'new draft dodgers'.
