Kari initiated a move to remove Zohar as faction chairman - and folded after a call from Bibi

July 29, 2020   

The ouster move led today (Tuesday) by MK Shlomo Kari against the faction's chairman, MK Miki Zohar, was a complete failure. Don't be a sucker: You may be entitled to a lot of money from National Insurance. Among those punished was MK Shlomo Kari, who, according to Zohar, violated discipline last Wednesday when he was absent from the vote on the law that caused a rift with the Haredim. His secret: Earn a prestigious degree without preparatory school and without prerequisites • Want one too? According to reports, 12 Likud members of the Knesset have already signed a letter of support for the removal. However, in order to carry out the removal, a majority of 19 MKs is required for the move. A text message sent to Likud members read: "Power, money, honor - this is not Begin's Likud. 5 more MKs sign and Mickey Zohar is gone." But then the prime minister intervened, spoke with Kerei, and demanded that he stop collecting signatures, saying that the move was inappropriate. Netanyahu also tweeted: "Without discipline, the Likud cannot govern, and especially not during the Corona crisis. I said yesterday at the faction meeting that I will hold coalition chairman Mickey Zohar accountable for the disciplinary steps he will take. I ask all Likud members to show responsibility, to be careful to maintain factional discipline, and to stop unnecessary attacks within the faction." Mickey Zohar celebrated his victory - and said in response: "There are no 12 MKs who signed for my removal from office. It is clear to everyone that the fake news industry in the media is working against me just as it is working against the Prime Minister. I thank him again for his full support against the initiators of the move by making it clear to them that this is an inappropriate act. I will continue to work for the citizens of Israel, the Likud movement and the Prime Minister without fear or apprehension."
