Communications Minister Karei Says Interest Groups Tried to Undermine Him After Likud Primaries

Communications Minister Shlomo Karei addressed the results of the Likud primaries on social media platform X, following the final vote count. He acknowledged that certain interest groups, displeased with his efforts to open the communications market to competition, attempted to undermine him through briefings and slanders from both the right and left. Despite these challenges, Karei emphasized that these actions only caused a minor setback and did not affect the committed and ideological Likud members who supported him throughout the process. He expressed gratitude for their backing, which helped him secure a respectable 13th place on the party list.
