Likud MKs and ministers are posting videos calling for support of Prime Minister Netanyahu's reserved slots proposal, after pressure from the Prime Minister's Office, according to journalist Daphna Liel. Some of the lawmakers posting have no personal interest in the high number of reserved slots, which could push them out of the party list.
Pressure from the Prime Minister's Office has succeeded in securing public support from Likud lawmakers for the reserved slots proposal, journalist Daphna Liel reports Sunday evening. MKs and ministers are posting videos calling for support of the measure, which would allocate a high number of reserved Knesset list slots, despite some of them having no personal interest in the proposal. The vote on the proposal is expected Monday. Earlier Sunday, The Zioneer reported that PM advisor Nevo Katz was contacting Likud MKs and asking them to film endorsement videos for the proposal. The development indicates that the PMO's internal lobbying effort is gaining traction ahead of the vote.
