There must be more women in the Knesset, the cabinet, and near the top of the Likud’s Knesset list, Culture and Sport Minister Limor Livnat said on Thursday, three days ahead of Likud’s primary.
Livnat, the head of the ministerial Committee on the Status of Women, has been the only woman in the current government’s security cabinet, which has fluctuated to as many as 15 ministers.
“Women provide a different perspective,” Livnat told The Jerusalem Post.
“They bring added value. It is wrong that I am the only woman in a forum that makes such important decisions. I hope Likud members enable me to continue getting things done.”
Livnat spent the past week visiting bomb shelters in Ashdod, Ofakim and Ashkelon. She gave interviews to 15 foreign media outlets at the Ashkelon shelter.
