Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to request at least five personal reserved slots on the Likud slate ahead of the upcoming elections, according to Channel 12 News. Among those mentioned as potential candidates for Netanyahu’s reserved slots are bereaved parents Dedy Simhi, whose son was killed while attempting to fend off Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023, and Itzik Bonzel, whose son died in Gaza two months after the war began. Likud has stated that "the Prime Minister is working to ensure the elections take place on time in order to address Israel’s security concerns."
