Against the background of the contacts for Netanyahu's plea deal: The level of tension in the Likud is rising Israel today

2022-01-17T11:00:23.336Z


Along with the understanding of the settlement reached in Netanyahu's portfolios, the Likud is already engaged in the battles of succession. • Israel Katz hopes to be elected interim chairman • May Golan attacks the deal:


The level of tension in the Likud is rising ahead of Benjamin Netanyahu's decision whether to sign a plea deal.

The fact that Netanyahu may leave the party has sharpened the senses among party members who want to replace him, and has become the talk of the day.

MK Israel Katz estimates that he will be elected interim chairman of the Likud until the primaries, and hopes that the interim will become permanent.

In the vicinity of Nir Barkat and the other candidates will strive to hold primaries in which the chairman will be elected.

MK Mai Golan attacked her party members who are running for the party leadership, saying that they can wait with the race. In an interview with Kol Barama radio, Golan said: "The candidates for the Likud leadership can wait a week or two." .

It is unbearable, in the end he is also a human being, the persecution of Mandelblit is inconceivable.

I hope that Netanyahu will not go for a plea deal, the truth needs to be clarified in court. "

"Not a simple blow to the party"

Most Likud MKs have issued a similar statement saying they will be disappointed if Netanyahu signs a plea deal, but they understand the personal circumstances that will lead to this and attack the prosecution and legal entities, which they say have persecuted Netanyahu. MK Galit Distel-Atbrian said: "The war is "The people face the elite. They (the legal authorities; YS) shoot him mercilessly, hit his wife and children, the persecution screams to heaven. If he decides to retire - it will collapse the right and the Zionist bloc."

MK Miki Zohar said in the High Court: "Netanyahu must be given peace to decide. I will make every decision of his. This is not the time to discuss who will replace him. I will not run, I am only 41 years old, but I will be dominant. The candidates will want my support."

MK Dr. Shlomo Krei said: "Anyone who thinks that our struggle to clean up the judiciary and law enforcement and return Israel to be a democracy and not a 'legal democracy' depends on one plea deal or another - is greatly mistaken. We are committed, I am committed - to the public, to the Jewish state - "To fight with all our might and change the system. We will not allow such a coup to happen again."

MK Yuval Steinitz referred to the deal being drafted in an interview with the GLC: "For this party, of course, it will be a difficult blow. It is difficult for me to see when we will once again have a leader with a stature like Netanyahu. However, I will respect every decision."
