Netanyahu Secures Slot for Wealthy Ashkenazi from California—and Exposes All of Likud's Bluff | Ben Caspit

Ben Caspit attacks the securing of Oren Dobronsky's slot in Likud, claiming it exposes the party's bluff, which purports to promote the periphery and Mizrahi communities but brings in a wealthy Ashkenazi immigrant. He calls Likud a 'satiated and rotten party' and criticizes its opposition to allowing Israelis abroad to vote.

Ben Caspit, a columnist for Maariv, sharply attacks Netanyahu's decision to secure a Knesset slot for Oren Dobronsky, a wealthy Ashkenazi immigrant from California, on the Likud list. Caspit argues that this move exposes Likud's bluff, which claims to promote the periphery and Mizrahi communities but in practice brings in a wealthy and disconnected candidate. He mentions Likud's opposition to allowing Israelis abroad to vote, pointing out the irony that Dobronsky comes from Channel 12, which Likud boycotts. Caspit calls Likud a 'half-Haredi, half-Kahanist party', disconnected and satiated, wallowing in tens of billions distributed to sectors. He concludes that all this will not change the truth and facts that have been revealed.
