| Description | Shlomo Maoz, an economist whose remarks against Israel's "Ashkenazi elite" caused a stirr earlier this year and cost him his position at the Excellence Nessuah investment house, is expected to announce on Saturday his decision to join the Likud Party.
Maoz is expected to get much support from Netanyahu in the upcoming primary elections.
A top politician from the Likud branded the move as a "cynical and transparent maneuver meant to put a token Mizrahi on Likud's Knesset list."
"With Moshe Kahlon's departure and Aryeh Deri's return to Shas, Netanyahu has realized that he is losing some of the Mizrahi vote, which is why he is trying to recruit any viable candidate who could be labeled Mizrahi." |
