Likud MKs consider joining Galed Ardan's party | Nadav Eilimel

Likud MKs and candidates have approached Galed Ardan's new party "Achdut" to explore joining, amid a crowded primary race. Ardan's associates demand commitment to core principles: not sitting in a narrow government and promoting the enlistment of Haredim into the IDF. The primaries will be held on Monday.

Members of Knesset and candidates in the Likud party have recently approached Galed Ardan's new party "Achdut" and are considering joining it. The move comes against the backdrop of the crowded primaries in the party, where many may be left without a realistic spot on the list. Sources close to Ardan told i24NEWS that the inquiries are being seriously considered, and that those who approach are required to commit to core principles: not sitting in a narrow government, and promoting the enlistment of Haredim into the IDF and Arabs into national service. The Likud primaries will be held this coming Monday, and Netanyahu's slots in realistic positions increase the concern among sitting MKs.
