According to a report by journalist Amiel Yarhi, published Tuesday evening, Yair Netanyahu, the prime minister's son, pushed for securing a reserved Knesset slot for right-wing commentator Yaakov Bardugo as part of the Likud party's final list negotiations. The report, carried as a 'first publication,' has not been independently confirmed.
Bardugo was officially confirmed by Likud at 14:22 Jerusalem on Tuesday as the recipient of the party's 11th reserved slot, as The Zioneer reported. He was placed at the 9th position on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's personal reserved list of 10 candidates, which also includes ministers Israel Katz and Gideon Sa'ar, wounded Gaza reservist Eliyahu Medan, and former Labor MK Eli Goldschmidt.
The claim regarding Yair Netanyahu's role in securing Bardugo's position remains unverified, and no official response from the Prime Minister's Office or Likud has been reported. The internal list negotiations included extensive horse-trading over reserved slots, with Gideon Sa'ar reportedly giving up his candidate Michelle Boskilla in favor of Bardugo.
