Is Netanyahu on his way to saving the minister pushed out? "He is not satisfied"

Commentator Mati Tuchfeld told Radio North that Netanyahu is pleased with the Likud primary results and the chosen leadership, but faces two problems: David Bitan, who survived despite efforts to weaken him, and Avi Dichter, who was pushed to an unrealistic spot. Tuchfeld says Netanyahu worked to influence the top ten and prevent candidates who could harm the party's image, but failed against Bitan. Now, the possibility of Netanyahu reserving a slot for Dichter is being considered, a move that could spark internal criticism.

Political commentator Mati Tuchfeld said in an interview with Radio North 104.5FM that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is very satisfied with the Likud primary results and the chosen leadership. According to him, one of Netanyahu's main goals was to influence the composition of the top ten and prevent the entry of candidates he believes could harm Likud's image. Tuchfeld noted that Netanyahu acted extensively to control the top ten, and we saw that those elected are those the Prime Minister planned to have there. However, the attempt failed against David Bitan, who survived despite efforts to weaken him and managed to bring in the new woman. Tuchfeld added that for Netanyahu, it is a significant loss that Avi Dichter did not pass, since the face of Likud cannot be someone who was ejected from the Knesset. Now, the possibility arises that Netanyahu will use one of the reserved slots to return Dichter to a realistic position, but such a move could spark criticism within Likud. Tuchfeld emphasized that even the Prime Minister, portrayed as the 'great dictator', has democratic rules he respects, and he stretched the limit with a record number of reserved slots. In conclusion, Netanyahu can be satisfied with the chosen leadership, but complex decisions remain before him, foremost the question of whether to bring Dichter back.
