After reports that he was reprimanded by the Prime Minister, MK Shlomo Qara from the Likud, he clarified today (Friday) in a poignant Facebook post, just before Shabbat and Passover, what the allegations were that Benjamin Netanyahu was furious about his work at the election headquarters.
Qarai wrote: “Dear friends, a time for a short summary after long months of preparation and five very long days of war without sleep. First of all, I say that there is no doubt that we are all very disappointed that we won only 59 seats in total for the right wing. Again, only a mandate and a quarter away from the formation of the government that Israel so desperately needs. ”
“It was reported that the Prime Minister called me to reprimand me for the work and the results of the election. This is a complete lie. The Prime Minister has spoken to me many times since Election Day, he knows of every step I have taken with approval and authority and appreciates the work of the polling station.” “Or the dissatisfaction with the functioning of the headquarters under my leadership. The results disappoint us all and rightly so, but those on whose heads the hat burns try to remove responsibility from themselves by lies and distortions. Among other things, those with foreign and financial interests or resentful who did not point a finger in favor of the movement.”
“In recent months, I have devoted all my time, at the request of the Prime Minister, to establish and manage the Likud polling station. The main goal was to do everything possible to prevent any possibility of falsification, skewing results and maintaining the purity of elections throughout the country! The Prime Minister appointed me as the Likud faction ‘s representative and as the Likud’s representative on the Central Election Commission. Strict including photocopying protocols that never happened and strictly maintaining the purity of the elections in problematic places in light of past experience. ”
“These are real achievements that we have never had, I am sure that without these achievements, we would have been in a much more difficult situation in terms of results. In the last two months I have established and operated the Likud polling station. Extremely complex and sensitive. We have placed significant Likud representatives everywhere in the country. In the problem areas. ”
Last Tuesday’s election day was very dramatic at the polling station. “The last one will be dedicated to our representatives at the polls for the purpose of reporting voters. A report which is a partner with the Elector software, in order to motivate our supporters.”
“There were problems mostly at the beginning of the day, ups and downs, but in the bottom line, out of about four million voters, Likud members at the polls reported more than three million voters who went to the polls. It is important to clarify, our party is an Elector customer, they work for us, not us. And the lies of this failed software in fabricated textures throughout these days, comes for one simple reason: they failed to deliver the goods. “The fact that Elector works with other parties whose interest is not so similar, to say the least, to the Likud’s interest.”
“The reporting site that the Likud built (I do not know how to build such programs and I did not make this decision, I know how to analyze data and not build the application for them), worked in the test of the result well. 3 million and more reports on election day. This is the test. “Personally, for the development of another application (‘ballots’) that will address places where there is no access to the Internet. This backup application worked optimally and added about 400,000 reports from about 800 polling stations.”
“Thanks to the information we submitted on election day itself, we issued more than 7 million text messages, 1.1 million voicemails and 182,000 dedicated calls from the incentive centers to those who did not come to vote. It was my job: on the one hand to do everything to prevent forgeries and biases and on the other to achieve Maximum information from the polls. All this was done very well, even if there were glitches especially on the morning of Election Day. The vile attempt to show that there is some negative connection between the operation and preparation and actual execution of the polling station headed by me is false and the Prime Minister gives me full backing “.
“In the bottom line, fewer people went out to vote in our largest strongholds. In the bottom line, the surplus agreement between Saar and Bennett, deprived us of a crucial mandate to continue. In the bottom line, the distribution in the double envelopes was similar to the regular vote and therefore almost nothing changed in the results. “Voices in the double envelopes. I agree that it is always important to learn lessons and learn, but in no way can I turn the polling station staff and the amazing people who gave their souls into it, a scapegoat on the altar of finance of the failing company Elector and a few other resentful people.”
“Thanks to all the information we gathered on Election Day, including full minutes of all the polling stations in the country that we already have, something we never had even after we went to the High Court, I recommended to the Prime Minister to set up a team of Amit Halevi and Simcha Rotman and its centers to review all protocols. Another. Regarding the double envelopes it is important to clarify: there was no change in the results because in the end the distribution of the results in the double envelopes was very similar to the distribution in the regular ballots and therefore there were no substantial changes that added or lowered a seat to someone in the right wing. From Tuesday night until Thursday afternoon, I and about 20 other Likud inspectors and hundreds of other Likud representatives were in the Knesset and oversaw every step of the way, every vote and vote. ”
“We knew the result yesterday afternoon because we received an instant copy of every counting protocol and typed into the system to later review the results reported by the Election Commission. Unfortunately, although the Likud received more than one hundred thousand votes out of about 420,000 double envelopes, ie about 25 It was not enough to move a mandate to us, after calculating Bader Ofer and the surplus agreements between the parties. It is disappointing but it is the result. We did not allow any opening for falsification or bias of results and we fought for every sound of illness. I believe that although we did not get the desired mandate “We will succeed in Gaza in forming a right-wing government headed by Netanyahu.”
“Only now have I turned to respond to the slanders and gross lies in text messages and on social media on behalf of other interested and business and disgruntled elements that all they care about is the Likud’s money. I will not go down like others, some senior, who did nothing! For the movement and even interfered. “I will tell you that too. At the moment, what is important is that a government is formed with the help of God, headed by the Likud and Netanyahu.
Finally, he wrote: “And Hia Samdh Labotino and Lno, Sla mono- Blbd Amd Alino Lclotno Ala Sbcl Dor and compartment Aomdim Alino Lclotno and Hkdos Blessed Hoa Mtzilno Midm” that promise would have the people of Israel throughout the generations, will continue to our right. A government that aims to tattoo its Jewish identity will never succeed in establishing itself in Israel. We passed through Pharaoh, we will pass through this too … Passover is kosher and happy for the whole house of Israel. ”
