Ben Gvir's Top Aide Declines Knesset Seat Offer
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir offered a realistic spot on the Otzma Yehudit party list for the upcoming Knesset elections to his senior advisor and party spokesperson, Ariel Elharar. Elharar thanked Ben Gvir for the trust but stated he prefers to continue in his current role, leading the minister's and party's public relations and information efforts behind the scenes.
Elharar explained his decision by emphasizing the critical nature of the upcoming election for Otzma Yehudit and the right-wing bloc. He argued that a strong communications team is particularly vital during this period, especially when facing media attempts to diminish the minister's and party's achievements. Therefore, he requested to remain focused on ensuring Otzma Yehudit's success in the elections.
This development comes as Ben Gvir also secured a place on the list for Hananel Dorfman. The specific position for Dorfman has been determined.
