MK Shvut Ra'anan, who left the Reservists Party on primary day Tuesday, said in a resurfaced Army Radio interview this morning that Naftali Bennett is a right-winger who was wronged. The comments, played on Galatz, follow her departure from the party.
MK Shvut Ra'anann, who left the Reservists Party (Mifleget HaMiluimnikim) on Tuesday — the day the party held its primaries — returned to the headlines this morning with a resurfaced Army Radio interview. In the broadcast, Ra'anann is heard saying Bennett is a right-winger who was treated unfairly by the public and media reaction to his political move, speculating that Benjamin Netanyahu would have faced less outcry for a similar step. The interview, originally recorded earlier and aired today on Galatz, does not directly address her recent party departure or future political plans. As The Zioneer reported Tuesday, Ra'anann's departure reshuffled the party slate on primary day; no further statements from Ra'anann or the party have followed.
