Internal tensions in Likud - Former prime minister's associate valid:
MK Amir Ohana said today (Saturday) that all Knesset members from the party who announced that they would run the day after the Netanyahu era - "would like him to leave now, and are also making moves to do so." Said the words at a "cultural" event in Petah Tikva.
This is a sharpening of Ohana's tone in relation to what he said last week, in an interview with "Meet the Press" on News 12. "Whoever says 'I will run for the Likud leadership the day after Netanyahu' may take action to bring this day to a close."
Ohana repeated his remarks against Miri Regev's statement in the media that an Mizrahi prime minister should come from the Likud.
"Orientalism is not what is relevant when I present myself to the public. What is relevant is the knowledge and experience of the candidate."

As you may recall, Nir Barkat and Yisrael Katz have so far announced that they will run for the Likud presidency after Netanyahu ends his career.
