Shevach Stern, a Likud activist from Judea and Samaria, criticized party leader Binyamin "Bibi" Netanyahu for bringing dovish figures into the party but also blamed Moshe Feiglin's "Jewish Leadership" faction for driving Bibi to make that move.
Speaking on Israel National News radio, Stern said that bringing Maj.-Gen. (res.) Uzi Dayan and former police commissioner Assaf Hefetz into the Likud was worrisome and raised questions, because the two have no electoral value. "The public is turning rightward and hopes to find in Netanyahu a political direction opposite to the Oslo policy from which it wishes to escape," he explained. People of Dayan and Hefetz's ilk, he added, could turn the Likud into "Kadima number two."
The way Moshe Feiglin and his group handled themselves "was wrong and scared many, including Likud's leadership, which finds itself letting in moderate leftists in order to create a balance," he said.
