Former Netanyahu Spokesman Criticizes Nir Barkat's Attempt to Oust Netanyahu

Aviv Bushinsky, former spokesman for Benjamin Netanyahu, spoke on Kol Barama radio on Tuesday regarding a report by Amit Segal that Nir Barkat attempted to depose Netanyahu and take over his position. Bushinsky described Barkat's move as "almost a death blow to Barkat's primary campaign." He emphasized that within the Likud party, there is strong loyalty to Netanyahu, whose standing in the party has never been stronger. Bushinsky also criticized Barkat's choice of Oren Dobronski as a running mate, calling it a "strange casting." The report highlights internal tensions within Likud and concerns that Barkat's challenge could jeopardize the party's stability.
