[83613] The Likud Slotted Candidate Storm: Allegations of Yair Netanyahu's Involvement

Tensions in Likud: Who Determines the Slotted Candidates List?

A political storm is brewing over the issue of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's personal slots on the Likud list. According to reports raised on Political Arena, senior party officials claim that involvement in selecting candidates has passed into the hands of the Prime Minister's son, Yair Netanyahu.

According to the report by Yuval Karni in 'Yedioth Ahronoth', cited on Political Arena, senior figures in the party emphasized the distinction between official authority and what is happening in practice: "Netanyahu's slots are not Benjamin Netanyahu's slots. They are Yair Netanyahu's slots."

Reports on the political unrest have also received broad resonance in other channels. News Arena noted that the battle over personal slots continues to be a focal point for internal friction, and News in Real Time also reported that senior Likud members are pointing an accusing finger at Yair Netanyahu as the one behind the demands and the proposed appointments.

As of now, no official response has been received from the Netanyahu family or the Prime Minister's Office regarding the allegations raised by the senior party members. The reporting sources, identified with ongoing political coverage, reflect the growing restlessness among Likud members ahead of the list compilation.
