A young couple in their 30s joined the Likud Party three months ago; they are part of a group that calls itself the "New Likud." Both voted for the Zionist Camp in the last election, and neither intends to vote Likud in the next election.
Talking to Al-Monitor, the husband said that most of his close friends, who all live in Tel Aviv, have joined the Likud Party in the last few months. "We all identify with the center-left. I am actually thinking of voting for Meretz in the next election. We just reached the conclusion that the Likud will remain in power in the years to come, so we want to influence it from the inside. We want to choose who will be on its Knesset list and promote our own interests," he said.
