MK Dan Illouz appeared alongside Yisrael Beiteinu leader Avigdor Lieberman on Wednesday evening and delivered a sharp critique of the Likud, his former party. Illouz, who recently joined Lieberman's party after breaking with the Likud over the Haredi draft-exemption bill, said the Likud has become a 'subcontractor' for Shas chairman Aryeh Deri and UTJ chairman Moshe Goldknopf. He urged voters seeking a genuine right-wing alternative to vote for Yisrael Beiteinu. The statement reflects the growing rift between the Likud and its former members, as Illouz positions himself as a right-wing alternative under Lieberman's banner.
