MK Yuli Edelstein officially announced last night (Monday) that he intends to run for the Likud presidency in the upcoming primaries.
MK Miki Zohar said this morning on the program of Kalman Liebskind and Assaf Lieberman: "We are a democratic movement.
The right of every person to place himself for the election.
I support Netanyahu and I will do everything to get him elected and return to lead the country.
Even if July runs, he will be part of the Likud leadership. "

MK Shlomo Qara was more assertive and said: "I have no doubt that Edelstein may be a deserter - I do not know if this will happen after the budget is approved or after he loses in the defeat to Netanyahu.
The coalition will give him everything he wants.
After Saar and Elkin I have no faith in anyone.
The act he did yesterday is even worse than what Saar did during the election period.
We are in a strong struggle of the opposition. "
Miri Regev said in Arie Golan's "This Morning" program: "If we can not allow people from the lower-middle class, people from the periphery, and those who represent the majority of Likud voters, to be elected leader of the movement - a situation will be created for people to form Likud B. I intend to stay in Likud. And the day after Netanyahu ran for the leadership of the movement. "
In her remarks, Miri Regev referred to a law submitted by MK Dudi Amsalem, known as the Barkat Law, according to which wealthy politicians will not be able to use their money for political purposes, thus creating an advantage over candidates from lower classes.

MK Yoav Kish, who supported Gideon Saar when he faced Netanyahu, also responded to Edelstein's statement and said: "On a personal level, I will support Netanyahu.
"After I spent the corona year with him - he is several levels above any other candidate and under his leadership we will win the next election."

MK Katie Sheetrit added in a tweet on Twitter: "The Likud had primaries not long ago, and Benjamin Netanyahu was elected by a majority of votes!
In our Likud, it is customary to be united after the elected leader.
We currently need to be united both as a faction and as an opposition in order to overthrow this evil and dangerous government. "

We must at the moment be united both as a faction and as an opposition in order to overthrow this evil and dangerous government.
