US Citizenship Blocks Oren Dobronsky's Knesset Run; Minister Role Eyed
Oren Dobronsky, who was slated for a reserved spot at number 11 on the Likud party's Knesset list, will likely not be included in the final slate submitted to the Central Elections Committee. The decision stems from the requirement that Dobronsky renounce his American citizenship to take the Knesset seat, a move he currently prefers not to make, valuing his U.S. citizenship over Israeli politics. Despite this, Dobronsky stated on Monday morning that he had not considered regretting his decision.
A senior Likud official confirmed Dobronsky's exclusion from the Knesset list but indicated that efforts are underway to appoint him as a minister representing the party after the upcoming elections. This development leaves Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with six reserved spots to fill on the party's list before the deadline for submissions on Tuesday night.
