The question that really needs to be asked regarding Naftali Bennett's candidate

Dr. Liran Harsgor argues that the real question surrounding the inclusion of Yonatan Shalev (24) in Naftali Bennett's list is not whether a young person is worthy of the Knesset, but why there are almost no young people in parliament. He notes that in the 25th Knesset, only one MK was under 30, and compares this to older world leaders. The article calls on parties to open integration paths for the younger generation.

Dr. Liran Harsgor argues in an opinion piece that the real question surrounding the inclusion of Yonatan Shalev, aged 24, in Naftali Bennett's list is not whether a young person is worthy of serving in the Knesset, but how we reached a situation where there are almost no young people in parliament. He notes that in the 25th Knesset, only one out of 120 MKs was under 30, while in the past young people like Moshe Nissim (aged 24) and Ehud Olmert (aged 28) served. The article compares this to older world leaders like Trump (80) and Netanyahu (77), and warns that the lack of youth representation harms trust and political discourse. Harsgor calls on parties to open integration paths for the younger generation instead of settling for symbolic seats.
