Is Netanyahu on his way to saving the minister who was pushed out? "He is not satisfied"
Commentator Mati Tuchfeld estimated in an interview with Radio North that Netanyahu is satisfied with the results of the Likud primaries and the elected leadership, but remains with two problems: David Bitan, who survived despite efforts to weaken him, and Avi Dichter, who was pushed to an unrealistic spot. Tuchfeld says Netanyahu acted to influence the composition of the top ten and prevent candidates who could harm the party's image, but failed against Bitan. Now the possibility is being considered that Netanyahu will reserve a slot for Dichter, 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 results of the Likud primaries and the elected 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 were the ones the Prime Minister planned to have there. However, the attempt did not succeed against David Bitan, who survived despite efforts to weaken him and managed to bring in the new woman. Tuchfeld added that from Netanyahu's perspective, it is a significant loss that Avi Dichter did not pass, as 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 pushed the limit with a record number of reserved slots. In conclusion, Netanyahu can be satisfied with the elected leadership, but complex decisions remain before him, foremost the question of whether to bring back Dichter.
