Amir Avivi Declines Knesset Seat Offer from Likud Party
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Tuesday that retired Brigadier General Amir Avivi has withdrawn his candidacy for a reserved spot on the Likud party's list for the upcoming Knesset elections. The announcement was made during a Likud secretariat meeting convened to approve reserved slots on the party's roster ahead of the deadline for submitting lists for the 26th Knesset.
Avivi, the founder of the 'Bithonim' (Security Hawks) movement and a senior reservist officer, had recently been considered a potential candidate for one of the reserved positions allocated to the party chairman. However, Netanyahu informed the secretariat members that Avivi had decided to forgo his place on the list.
While Avivi will not be running for Knesset, he is reportedly being considered for a different role within the Likud party as a project manager. The specific details of this potential position were not immediately clear.
