While Netanyahu fears Edelstein: Likud reveals – the former political partner they tried to crown in his place
Likud insiders reveal past attempts to oust Netanyahu, including a move to crown Liberman. Netanyahu is holding talks with MKs, fearing they might lose in the primaries and become a focal point of opposition against him. Erdan is also in the background.
The article claims that Likud insiders are revealing past attempts to oust Benjamin Netanyahu, including a move aimed at 'crowning Yvette Liberman in Likud,' as MK Nissim Vaturi said. In the background, there is concern in Netanyahu's circle about internal organizing after the primaries, as MKs who lose could become a focal point of opposition against him, including the possibility of a constructive no-confidence vote. Netanyahu is holding personal conversations with MKs to understand their intentions if they are not elected to a realistic slot. Also mentioned is Gilad Erdan, as those around him are examining appeals, but those interested are required to commit to the party's principles, including avoiding sitting in a narrow government and promoting the draft of Haredim. The 'HaAchdut' party said they would not relate to things said in closed conversations.
