The results of the primaries in the Likud party were received last week. Some old and prominent members of the Knesset were surprisingly relegated to low places, while new faces are expected to enter the Mishkan. A week later, dozens of branch heads and heads of authorities from the Likud asked the chairman of the party, Binyamin Netanyahu, to give at least two of the armor to women. Member of Knesset from the party, Keren Barak, discussed the request of Likud branch heads with Aryeh Eldad and Roni Bar-On on radio 103FM: “They are asking to be put on the list.”

There are two things to be careful about in the Likud primaries Ephraim Ganor
When the presenters of the program asked about her place on the list, Barak responded, “I don’t count. We are not in calculus class. The field activists’ reading is at the end of calling a child by name, they ask that I be put on the list. It warms the heart and is exciting. Last week was a severe disappointment, and I was not prepared for it “.
“Once,” she continued, “the system was better for women, over the years it has eroded. Up to number 30, there are 4 women on the list. In Likud, each of us is not a weak woman. We have a proven track record and our struggles are for the public and also For women – who really cares about keeping the party. I was disappointed, a very big disappointment, it was not expected. Therefore, this initiative that came from activists is blessed and warms the heart.”
“Do you intend to organize and raise a political demand?”, the Knesset member was asked. She replied “It didn’t happen”.
“Maybe you made a mistake because you worked hard and didn’t do politics?” asked the presenters of the program. Barak laughed and replied: “With us, politics is ‘built in’ – you can’t ignore it. There were deals that I didn’t know how big they were. I am a public servant in my heart and soul, and when someone works with all my heart and soul, I am always there.”
