The unrest and the MKs who are "waiting in the wings": "Netanyahu begins a term with many disgruntled people"

In the Likud, there is unrest following the placement of Yaakov Bardugo in the 11th spot on the list. Senior party members are furious with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who prioritized his associates over electoral considerations. Some MKs are "waiting in the wings" to settle scores with Bardugo, and it is estimated that he will receive a significant portfolio in the next government.

In the Likud, there is internal unrest following Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to place his associate Yaakov Bardugo in the 11th spot on the Knesset list. Senior Likud members are furious over the move, which they say prioritizes personal loyalty over electoral considerations. It is estimated that Bardugo is expected to receive the position of Minister of Justice or Communications in the next government. A senior Likud official said that "quite a few MKs are waiting in the wings" to settle scores with Bardugo, after having grievances with him in the last term. One minister added: "Netanyahu was not at all sensitive to what is happening around his senior ministers. He knew that this placement would cause great harm - and he still carried it out." According to him, "Netanyahu begins the next term with many disgruntled MKs. Everyone is silent now and not shooting in the APC because they are waiting to see if he can bring victory." The storm around Bardugo joins the primary storm, in which MK Avichai Boaron was pushed back in favor of placing Amir Avivi, and only after Netanyahu's intervention was Boaron returned to his place. Also, unrest is described around Minister Haim Katz, whose placement and the deals he made sparked anger among senior ministers.
