Journalist and commentator Irit Linor criticized Naftali Bennett's decision to add four women to his 'Together' party list, calling the move "not feminism." Linor's statement, posted on Tuesday evening, adds a direct rejection to the online discussion.
The day's developments began at 09:32 Jerusalem, when Bennett announced the addition of four women: Bruria Na'im, Esti Kobo, Orly Harel, and Olesya Kantor. A commentator subsequently noted that the list now includes 17 women total. Another post at 09:32 questioned whether the move was "objectification" (החפצה). Linor's latest post explicitly labels it "not feminism."
Bennett has previously stated his commitment to elevating women in leadership, as The Zioneer reported on July 20. His party has faced declining poll numbers, with the Bennett-Lapid alliance drawing criticism from within the right-wing camp, as The Zioneer reported on June 24 and June 25.
