The victory in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's primaries encourages Likud members and Netanyahu's relatives, where it is believed that the decline of a positive campaign that will not attack political opponents can bring them to the desired 61 seats - without Avigdor Lieberman or other partners.

Today, all Likud members will gather for a candle lighting event in Tel Aviv, where the prime minister is expected to embrace Gideon Sa'ar and call on him to work with the Likud to win the general election. At the same time, the party estimates that Netanyahu will appoint Israel Katz as the party's head of election after That it was in a similar role in the primaries. As part of the desire to strengthen the field work, the ministers and MKs will be distributed to areas across the state, which will be responsible for them.

Likud Speaker Mickey Zohar told Israel Today that "The primaries were a great indicator of how an election campaign is being conducted and how it is being strengthened in the run-up to the general election. We have taken two very clear strategies: a lot of space, which has awakened our side, and in addition , We did not attack the opponent and almost ignored his existence. We saw in the primaries results that it lowered enthusiasm on the other side. "

He said, "The mandate equation is currently problematic, where the game is voting percentages. We need to produce a situation in which our bloc gets to vote at a higher percentage - through field work. And on the other side, its existence should be ignored."

More on:

• Final results from the Likud primaries: 72.5 percent to Netanyahu, 27.5 percent to storm

• After the primaries in the Likud: Hotobli is expected to be appointed to Sarah

• A Likud storm around Regev's words against Saar

He adds that "the strategy that worked in the primaries - space plus a positive campaign plus ignoring the other side - can work in the general election as well. We need 200,000 more voters with us and 100,000 more voters with them, and then there are 61 and even more."

He estimates that "Jewish power, the Jewish home and the national unity will eventually converge to a party that will pass the blockade, the new right does a bad job and can rise to five or six seats. The ultra-Orthodox can maintain their power. Of drinking mandates inside the camp, that's an error. "

In contrast, in blue and white, Netanyahu's victory in Likud for election propaganda took hold. Blue and White Chairman MK Benny Gantz wrote: "Citizens of Israel, as it seems - will continue to lead Likud defendant Netanyahu, who is leading the State of Israel in the path of corruption. Jabotinsky and Begin, who spoke about the supremacy of justice, elected leader With three indictments, which seeks to crush the rule of law and gain personal immunity, rather than engaging in what is important to the citizens of Israel. "

Peretz: "The Likud is Detached"

Gantz added that "these elections require us to place a mirror image for the Netanyahu Party and to choose unity, statehood and internal reconciliation."

MK Moshe (Boogie) Ya'alon joined Gantz's message line. "In Likud, the Jabotinsky and Begin's vision was finally buried," where Ya'alon attacked, Criminal defendant? Oh shame. "

Minister Ophir Akunis attacked Gantz and blue-white back. "I saw a video of a blue-and-white chairman, a totalitarian party preaching democracy to us, what an impudence," said Akunis, adding that "before he does democracy in a white-blue, futuristic state, in Tel Aviv, then he comes to us with allegations. It's political cynicism. And that's a terrible hypocrisy. "

The party to the left attack is MK Amir Peretz, chairman of Labor Bridge. "The results of the primaries in the Likud show that the Likud has been cut off from the people," Peretz, who is the leader of the popular and state movement led by Menachem Begin, attacked, a man accused of three serious indictments.
