Senior Likud figures met with MK Yaron Levy (Yesh Atid) and discussed the possibility of reserving a slot for him on the Likud Knesset list, according to reports. Levy, who was at the center of opposition criticism over the state comptroller vote for refusing to disclose his vote, did not comment. Likud also declined to comment.
The contacts between Likud and MK Yaron Levy, a member of the opposition Yesh Atid party, mark a potential shift in the party's Knesset lineup ahead of the next election. Levy drew sharp criticism from the opposition during the recent state comptroller vote, a secret ballot that he refused to disclose. The controversy over the comptroller appointment, which the High Court of Justice intervened to preserve the secret ballot, has been a subject of ongoing political tension. As The Zioneer reported, the coalition's attempt to cancel the secret ballot was blocked by the court. Levy's potential move to Likud would add a new dimension to the party's internal dynamics, as Likud has been grappling with internal debates over the composition of its list and the role of reserved slots. Neither Likud nor Levy issued a statement on the talks.
