With six former Likud MKs and ministers, one former Blue and White MK, and two Derech Eretz MKs in his party’s top 16, Sa’ar, who hopes to challenge Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the premiership called the slate “a united national list which reflects the diverse face of Israel. It is a mosaic of Israeli society, in terms of gender, geography, age, cultural, and social groups.”
