  • Likud is considering appointing "Hero of Israel" Elisha Magen to a significant party role.
  • Magen's potential appointment is seen as an alternative to backing Matan Kahana.
  • The party has not yet decided whether to present its own candidate.
  • The deliberations highlight a political contrast within Likud.

The Likud party is reportedly considering a surprising move to appoint Elisha Magen, known as a "Hero of Israel," to a significant, yet unspecified, role within the party. This potential appointment is being discussed as an alternative to backing Matan Kahana, who is described as having "Arab support."

While the party has not yet decided whether to field its own candidate for the position, Magen's name is currently on the table. The internal deliberations highlight a political dilemma within Likud, contrasting a national hero with a figure perceived as relying on Arab political backing.
