New powers for Yair Golan in The Democrats party: 'Naor Narkis clause' exposed
A small political storm surrounds the constitution of 'The Democrats' party led by Yair Golan: reports indicate the existence of a clause nicknamed the "Naor Narkis clause," which grants the party chairman extensive powers in shaping the list for the Knesset.
According to Amit Segal, who is identified with his positions with the Israeli right, the clause in the party's constitution allows Yair Golan to "move two candidates up or down on the list," in the event that, according to Golan, they would "substantially harm its chances in the elections." This publication received extensive media attention on social networks.
The information was also shared by the channel Israel News | Without Censorship - The Voice of News, which presents a line emphasizing criticism of the establishment political system. The channel copied the report verbatim, emphasizing the power concentrated in Golan's hands in managing his list.
As of now, no official response has been issued by The Democrats party regarding the practical implications of this clause or the circumstances that would lead to its activation.
