Jabotinsky's grandson to join Likud

Bibi's 'shopping spree' continues: Ze'ev Jabotinsky, the grandson of famed Zionist and Revisionist leader Ze'ev Jabotinsky, will run in the upcoming Likud primaries, in an attempt to win a spot on the party list ahead of the upcoming general elections.

Jabotinsky announced his intentions to Likud Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu. Bibi is expected to officially present Jabotinsky during a press conference at Likud headquarters in Tel Aviv.

Netanyahu has been engaging in talks with Jabotinsky for a while now, and Ynet has learned that the two figures recently agreed on the latest move. The Likud leader is apparently interested in maintaining the positive momentum created in the past two weeks, after other "stars" joined the party.
