After weeks of rumors about entering politics, including reports of a possible reserved spot on Likud’s slate, Israeli advocacy activist Yoseph Haddad is moving to the practical stage—registering a new party with partners called “Courageous Israel.” At the same time, he’s holding talks and meetings with various figures and is expected to soon decide which framework he’ll choose to operate in.
1+Haddad hasn’t hidden that the possibility of entering politics is on the table for him, and in recent weeks he’s been examining it practically. Alongside registering the party, he’s holding talks and meetings with various figures and is exploring several options regarding the framework in which he could operate going forward. Haddad recently returned from an advocacy tour in the United States, and soon is expected to make a decision on which path he’ll choose to continue—and in which framework, from his perspective, he can have the best impact and work most effectively for the State of Israel.
1+As a reminder, Haddad didn’t deny reports about a possible reserved spot on Likud’s slate, but also didn’t explicitly confirm them: “If and when Haddad decides to enter political life, everyone will hear about it and about the way it will be done, directly from him. In any case, Haddad will do everything possible for the good of the State of Israel and Israeli society.”
