"Her crazy flattery didn't help": Silman fell – and Netanyahu won big

The Likud primaries ended with a big win for Netanyahu, who strengthened his position at the top. Barkat suffered a severe political blow, and Silman, despite her support for Netanyahu, gained no advantage. Commentators Tzur and Bousi analyze the results, noting that Netanyahu managed to bring his associates into the list.

The Likud primaries ended with a major victory for Benjamin Netanyahu, who strengthened his standing at the top of the party. Nir Barkat, who invested millions to capture the list, suffered a severe political blow, and Idit Silman, who published a video supporting Netanyahu, gained no significant advantage. Commentator Tzur said that 'her crazy flattery didn't help,' and Bousi added that Silman received a 'cold shoulder' from Netanyahu. Tali Gottlieb was pushed to a lower position than expected, and Tzur admitted he failed to predict her placement. Tzur assessed that Netanyahu managed to bring people close to him into the list, which will allow him to live well with the list. The results reflect a significant achievement for Netanyahu and strengthen his position ahead of the elections.
