Oren Dobronsky drops Likud Knesset bid rather than give up US citizenship
Netanyahu misses a Likud tribunal deadline to reveal his remaining reserved candidates as the party pushes its meeting toward the 10 p.m. national filing cutoff; Dobronsky says he will instead join the Likud team as a professional AI minister
Israel: The submission of lists of candidates for the 26th Knesset elections is nearing completion. On the first day, the CEC received 18 lists. Today, party representatives will be able to arrive at the Knesset to submit lists by 22:00.
Oren Dovronsky, who was expected to be on the Likud list, announced that he will not run for the Knesset, but will remain on Netanyahu's team and serve as professional minister for artificial intelligence.
Oren Dovronsky, Netanyahu's 11th-place candidate, announced that he will not run on the Likud list. The reason: he is required to renounce his American citizenship. He will serve as Minister of AI Affairs.
After it became clear that he will have to give up his American citizenship, the chances of Doborinsky being presented as a party candidate tomorrow are greatly reduced. This will leave Netanyahu with six seats to fill by tomorrow morning. The post Likud's seat arrangement: Oren Doborinsky will probably not be placed on the Knesset list but will be announced as a ministerial candidate first appeared on JDN.
