MK Omar Yankelevich provided quite a few headlines in the previous election campaigns, and not necessarily for positive reasons.

Recall that Bachar is heard on recordings against Gantz on the grounds that he is "a danger to the people of Israel," and claimed that MK Omar Yankelevich "says he is stupid and is zero reset, and she says he must not be prime minister."

MK in White Blue told Israel Today that "Jankelevich had brought Bachar into resilience to Israel at the time and she was a member of the party's strategic team before being united with Blue and White. They work together, and there's the obvious feeling that once he's fired, she'll leave too. I still remember your publication in Israel Today that she tried to edit to the new right. There are Knesset members who don't trust it. "

Another Knesset member on the list said: "We are a group of Knesset members who are convinced: After the elections, Omar Yankelevich will retire. However, a member of the list said that "now Yankelevich knows that she is being watched and that she has to prove herself. She will remain true to my son and the trust he gave her."

When asked yesterday about the issue, he dismissed it, saying: "She denied everything she attributed (in Bachar's tape case), she does a great job promoting disadvantaged populations and that's what she'll do next. I'm not afraid of defectors."

Recall that in August it was revealed in Israel Today that while she was a member of Benny Gantz's Israel Resilience Party strategic team, in the April 2019 election campaign, Jankelevich tried to move to the new right-wing party. "Israel Today" also learned that the person who tried to help Linkelevich in trying to move to the new right is the strategist Israel Bachar.

MK Yankelevich said in response: "There have never been anything and any other statement on the subject is a tendentious lie behind which are interested parties. I'll be clear. As it was and did not happen in the first and second rounds of elections, this will not happen in the third round as well. "
