Hirsch has been very popular in Likud since the investigations that thwarted his appointment as commissioner, which intensified in light of the recent storm surrounding the disclosure of the identity of the state witness who incriminated him. Malko, who worked for years as a journalist at the Broadcasting Authority, previously tried to be elected to the Knesset, and in 2015 was ranked third on the Kulanu list of Moshe Kahlon, but her candidacy was rejected because she did not resign in time from her position at the Broadcasting Authority. Now that there is no obstacle to her candidacy, Netanyahu wants to retain her and give representation to the Ethiopian community, as well as strengthen the female representation on the list.

In the Likud primaries, only five women were elected in the 30 realistic places on the list, Compared to eight MKs who served in the outgoing Knesset.

The MKs who were expelled and pushed to unrealistic places on the list exerted pressure in recent weeks from the field and the branches who called on Netanyahu to use armor to promote Likud veterans on the list. However, he preferred not to create a precedent of bypassing the results of the primaries and strengthening the female representation in the new faces of Silman and Malko,

Netanyahu's armors are also expected to create tensions with other sectoral MKs who hoped to be upgraded in the list, such as MK Petin Mola and former MK Gadi Berken. Berken resigned from the Knesset before the primaries so that he could run again in the immigrant slot that is armored in 33rd place, but lost to a new candidate Dan Iloz. Birken pressures Netanyahu to get armor as a representative of the Ethiopian community, but he seems to prefer Malko.
