What happened
Right-wing activist Hadar Mukhtar seeks to run in the Likud primaries but faces a major obstacle as Prime Minister Netanyahu is unlikely to approve her ballot eligibility. Despite this, she remains optimistic about mobilizing young voters and contributing to the party's campaign. Her low list placement further diminishes her chances of winning a Knesset seat.
- 01Hadar Mukhtar submitted candidacy for Likud primaries aiming for Knesset list inclusion.
- 02She needs special ballot approval (Pazam) from Netanyahu, which now seems unlikely.
- 03Mukhtar claims strong support among young first-time voters and trusts Netanyahu.
- 04Likud decided not to shorten her Pazam, blocking her official candidacy.
- 05If approved, she would run for the "new woman" slot placed 48th on the list, a nonviable position.
- 06Mukhtar plans to continue campaigning for Likud regardless of primary outcome.
