Senior MKs in Likud oppose the candidacy of Gilad Sharon in the primaries for the party that will be held next week. "I cannot support someone who was a part of the disengagement plan and does not regret it," said MK Yuli Edelstein in dismay at Sharon's candidacy, although he clarified that he is not Used to speak out against other candidates.
The words were said at an election conference of the Matalkadim forum in Kfar Etzion, during which the candidates and MKs expressed sharp criticism against the son of the late Prime Minister Ariel Sharon who refuses to say that he regrets the evictions of thousands from their homes.
"I am 100 percent opposed to what this man represents," MK Yoav Kish clarified in a conversation with activists, "in my view, a person who does not regret the disengagement plan does not belong in Likud."

During the gathering, which was attended by dozens of residents from the settlements of Gush Etzion, Efrat and Kiryat Arba, one of the leaders of the forum, Yehuda Namburg, himself a refugee from Gush Katif, stood up and expressed his anger at the fact that Sharon is running for the Likud party.
"In 2005, I functioned so that a deportation would not happen again. For me, Gilad Sharon is an attack on any scale. I don't know how we can afford to have a person who says he is one of the initiators of the deportation and is unrepentant be in Likud."
At the end of his speech, those present, including the candidates, burst into applause.
Sharon himself admitted in the past, in an interview with the "New York Times", that he was the one who gave his father the idea to unilaterally withdraw from Gaza, after he realized that most Israelis were not interested in bearing the price of remaining in the territory.
