Surprise in Likud: Veteran Figure Returns to Primary Race

Former Deputy Minister Ayoub Kara announced his return to politics and candidacy in the Likud primaries. The move could cancel the representation guarantee for a non-Jewish candidate in the list, which was led until now by MK Mofid Mari. Kara has recently been active in the field of Israel-Abraham Accords relations and among the Druze in Syria.

First publication: Former Deputy Minister Ayoub Kara decided today (Monday) to run in the Likud party primaries, after freezing his political activity in recent years. The implication: if he is elected to the national list, the representation guarantee for a non-Jewish candidate in the list, which was led until now by MK Mofid Mari, may be canceled. Kara has recently focused on international relations with the Abraham Accords countries and activity among the Druze community in Syria. Sources in Likud approached him due to regional developments and the need for a senior Arabic-speaking representative.
