No women, no security experts, no leaders. The main thing is Netanyahu is pleased | Ben Caspit

Ben Caspit attacks Netanyahu following the Likud primaries, claiming the party has become an 'army of trembling dwarfs' without women, security experts, or leaders. He personally criticizes Silman, Dichter, and Barkat, and laments the loss of Likud's ideology.

Ben Caspit, in an opinion column in Maariv, attacks Benjamin Netanyahu following the results of the Likud primaries. He claims Netanyahu has turned the party into an 'army of trembling dwarfs' – lacking women, security experts, and leaders. Caspit personally criticizes Idit Silman, who underwent a process of 'seeing the light' after being promised a safe spot, and Avi Dichter, who according to him 'renounced himself' and became a 'doormat' on which the Netanyahu family wiped its feet. He also refers to Nir Barkat, who ranked low on the list, and estimates Netanyahu may push him down further through another party's reserved slot. The column laments the transformation of Likud from a party of leaders and ideology into a disciplined party, and notes the large financial expenditures of the Netanyahu family over the years.
