Yinon Magal Jokes About Not Receiving Knesset Seat Reservation
Radio host Yinon Magal and Nadav Peri discussed Yaakov Bardugo's placement at number 11 on the Likud party's Knesset list. Peri questioned why Magal himself was not granted a reserved spot on the list. Magal responded humorously, stating he felt slighted and believed he had sacrificed for the "religious bloc."
Peri asked Magal if he intended to send congratulations to Bardugo, to which Magal replied he wished Bardugo success, adding, "His success is our success." Peri then recounted a conversation with an unnamed source at the radio station who wondered why Magal wasn't reserved a spot, suggesting Magal might be waiting for a "tribal leader" to finish their term, implying a reserved seat in the Likud would be beneath Magal.
Magal reacted to this suggestion with further humor, quipping, "Frankly, I'm hurt. I think I gave of myself for the religious bloc." He affirmed his continued support for the bloc.
