Netanyahu Builds Likud Media Team to Amplify Party Messaging

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is actively working to strengthen Likud's media presence by engaging closely with several party ministers and Knesset members. In recent weeks, Netanyahu has held face-to-face meetings and phone conversations with key figures, briefing them on current security and political developments and outlining the messages he wants emphasized in the near future. His primary request to this group is to increase their media activity by giving more interviews and publicly promoting Likud's positions and the themes Netanyahu wishes to highlight.

The core group includes Agriculture Minister Avi Dichter, Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana, Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Chair Boaz Bismuth, Coalition Chair Ofir Katz, Education Minister Yoav Kish, and Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Shikli. This lineup is fluid, with members occasionally joining or leaving as Netanyahu maintains ongoing contact with them. Alongside regular political work, this evolving media front aims to provide a more prominent platform for Likud's messages and Netanyahu's priorities.
