Gideon Saar announced today (Tuesday) that he will no longer work with his American consultants from the “Lincoln Project.” As you may recall, in the US it was reported that John Weaver, one of the partners who set up the project, sexually harassed more than 20 young people.
Last month, Saar hired the services of Steve Schmidt, Stuart Stevens, Rick Wilson and Reid Galen from the project, which was established in late 2019 by Republicans and former Republicans, aimed at preventing the re-election of former US President Donald Trump, and defeating Republicans who support Trump Who ran for the Senate.

Once employed, the political system believed that Saar’s advisers from the Lincoln Project would help him try and defeat Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu through negative propaganda, as they had managed to do against Trump. However, Saar now claims that “we have never worked with the Lincoln Project. The party employed four senior consultants who were connected to the project, who until recently provided us with consulting services. The person in question is unfamiliar to us, we have never had contact with him and certainly have not worked with him. In that case, as stated, the contract between the two parties ended recently. “
A senior Likud official responded to the reports that “we do not take the time to think about Gideon. Gideon and Bennett can only form a government that will make Lapid the prime minister, so their supporters will quickly reach the Likud for a real right-wing government.”
