MK David Bitan on Thursday evening submitted the Likud slate for the 24th Knesset to the Central Elections Committee. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu agreed to place MK Ofir Sofer from the National Union in the 28th place on the list, as “compensation” for the agreement on a joint run that Bezalel Smotrich signed with Itamar Ben Gvir. In addition, Netanyahu reserved the tenth spot on the slate for journalist Galit Distal, Orly Levy Abekasis was reserved the 26th spot, Yair Gabay was placed 36th, Nail Zoabi 29th and Boris Aplichuk was placed in the 40th spot on the list. "This time the Likud will succeed in a big way, I estimate that we will receive 36 seats and even more," said MK Bitan, who had been released from the hospital earlier in the day after a long bout with COVID-19. "I was in a bad situation. Go get vaccinated. It is impossible to know where it will catch you." When asked by Arutz Sheva how he feels, Bitan replied, "I lost 27 kilograms because of the coronavirus." The Likud slate for the Knesset is as follows: 1. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu 2.
