Nevo Katz, an advisor to Prime Minister Netanyahu, is reportedly contacting Likud MKs and asking them to film endorsement videos for the PM's proposal to reserve Knesset slots, ahead of a vote on the measure tomorrow. According to a report by Shahar Glik, the proposal could push some MKs out of the party's list.
The call campaign by Netanyahu's advisor Nevo Katz comes hours before the Likud party is set to vote on the Prime Minister's proposal to allocate reserved slots on the party's Knesset list. According to a report by Shahar Glik, Katz is contacting Likud MKs and asking them to film videos expressing support for the proposal, which could push some sitting lawmakers out of the list entirely. The internal Likud dispute over the list composition has been ongoing for weeks. As The Zioneer has reported, Netanyahu previously threatened to leave the party unless granted 10 reserved slots, and later offered a compromise reserving slots up to position 25 for loyalists. The proposal has caused significant tension within the party, with some MKs fearing they could lose their seats. The vote is scheduled for tomorrow.
