Israeli elections

Drucker rules out voting for Liberman

Channel 13 journalist Raviv Drucker says he'll vote for a change-bloc party in the coming elections, but rules out one prominent figure alongside Netanyahu: I'll never vote for him in my life.

Channel 13 journalist and presenter Raviv Drucker, known as one of Prime Minister Netanyahu's fiercest critics, has clarified that besides Netanyahu, there is another candidate he will never vote for.

In an interview with Sharon Gal on the podcast "In Sharon's Living Room," Drucker was asked which party would receive his vote. The Channel 13 host responded: "I'll vote for someone from the change bloc, but I won't say who. What difference does it make to you if it's the Democrats, Eisenkot or Bennett? What does it matter? It won't be an Arab party, it will be someone from the change-bloc parties and it also won't be Avigdor Liberman. I'll never vote for him in my life."

Several days ago, Drucker published a scathing column in Haaretz in which he leveled sharp criticism at the way Yashar party leader Gadi Eisenkot is running his election campaign, describing it as nearly paralyzed.

"Eisenkot's public appearances are not good," Drucker noted. "The campaign's fear of some half-slip of the tongue is so great that Prime Minister Netanyahu is constantly on the attack and often succeeds in setting the agenda, while the other side is still deliberating exactly how to behave."

Drucker concluded that the campaign's central failure is its inability to present the candidate to the broader public: "Above all, the campaign has failed in making Eisenkot known to the public. The Israeli public knows very little about him."
