Attorney Guy Busi and political strategist Ronen Tzur spoke on Radio 103FM on Monday about the upcoming elections and the number of seats the Likud party<\/a> is expected to win.<\/p>\n

Busi said another right-wing party should enter the political arena, arguing that many voters on the Right are looking for an alternative to the current coalition and the Likud list.<\/p>\n

“According to all the studies, there is a large public that wants the right wing but does not necessarily prefer the current coalition and the Likud list because of October 7, and therefore does not want to vote [Likud]. All the parties you see basically want those same 8 to 13 seats,” he noted.<\/p>\n

“The people are tired of boycotts,” Busi continued. “You need to see the answers people give about boycotts. It is unacceptable from both the Right and the Left. People say things like, what is the difference between [Gadi] Eisenkot’s<\/a> voter and [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu’s voter? They go to the same after-school activities and live in the same apartment building. People do not want the boycotts, and because of that you see all the slogans coming out about a broad Zionist government and unity. That party, if it is established, will have the power to enforce a unity government.”<\/p>\n

Tzur pushed back. “I find it hard to believe that a party of refugees will pass the electoral threshold. It will be a nice episode, perhaps closer to the election date, but as the elections<\/a> approach, these parties will lose strength in their current composition. I am less optimistic than Busi regarding such compositions. They are a kind of androgynous thing. There is room for such a party, but its composition will determine its chance of passing the electoral threshold. If the composition is built on refugee camps of Israeli politics, I do not think the Israeli voter sees this as the message of the center and unity.”<\/p>\n

He also addressed the issue of political boycotts. “The second thing is the issue of boycotts. It is very selective. ‘We are against boycotts.’ But for example, the Arab public,<\/a> which is a loyal public, ‘we boycott.’ Why? ‘Because we are against boycotts.’ The Arab soldiers whom Mansour Abbas represents, Arab soldiers, Muslims, Christians, Bedouins, ‘we boycott.'”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Attorney Guy Busi and political strategist Ronen Tzur spoke on Radio 103FM on Monday about the upcoming elections…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":528519,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[49,4410,955,42,14406,21141,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-528518","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-benjamin-netanyahu","tag-elections","tag-gadi-eisenkot","tag-headlines","tag-knesset","tag-likud","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/528518","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=528518"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/528518\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/528519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=528518"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=528518"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=528518"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
