'Gilad Sharon's return will hurt the Likud'

Journalist David Bedein, head of the Center for Near East Policy Research, warned on Tuesday that if Gilad Sharon, son of former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, goes ahead with his plans to run for the Knesset with the Likud, the move could ultimately hurt the party.

“People have not forgotten that Gilad Sharon was one of the five people in what was called the ‘Farm Forum’ – those people who made every decision about what was going to happen in terms of the expulsion of the Jewish communities of Gush Katif and the northern Shomron, and the retreat of the army,” Bedein told Arutz Sheva.
