Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has slotted businessman and hi-tech entrepreneur Oren Dobronsky into the Likud list for the next Knesset, according to a Channel 14 report. Commentator Yaakov Bardugo said the move signals a shift from 'rule of bureaucrats' to 'the business and free world.'
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed the slotting of businessman Oren Dobronsky into the Likud list for the upcoming Knesset, according to a Channel 14 report. Dobronsky, a hi-tech entrepreneur, is not a career politician — a point commentator Yaakov Bardugo highlighted as deliberate.
"When I look at the slots of Eisenkot and Bennett, I see deep state," Bardugo said. "These are state officials who have passed their role, as opposed to Netanyahu who thinks outside the box and does not take bureaucrats, but people who worked hard outside. Netanyahu signals that the rule of bureaucrats is OUT, the business and free world — IN."
The Zioneer reported earlier that Likud sources said Dobronsky was promised a ministerial role in the next government. An informal poll on Channel 14's 'Patriots' program in August found 96% support for his recruitment to the party. The move comes as Netanyahu prepares a slate for the next election, aiming to bring in candidates from the private sector.
