Netanyahu Finalizes Reserved Spots on Likud Election List
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Tuesday the individuals he has reserved spots for on the Likud party's list for the upcoming elections. Among those slated for reserved positions are Channel 14 commentator Yaakov Bardugo, former Labor MK Eli Goldschmidt, retired Brigadier General Amir Avivi, Talik Guili, mother of fallen hostage Ran Guili, attorney David Peter, severely wounded warrior Elisha Madan, and bereaved father Itzik Bonzel.
Initial reports indicate Talik Guili is slated for the ninth spot, Bardugo for eleventh, Madan for fifteenth, Peter for sixteenth, Bonzel for twentieth, Goldschmidt for twenty-sixth, and Avivi for thirty-fifth. Bardugo had reportedly sought a top-ten position but settled for eleventh, with a party commitment to consider him for the Justice Ministry portfolio.
