Likud MK Oren Hazan slammed the decision by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to include his name on the shortlist for the party's primaries, saying that "without me the Likud party will lose seats in Knesset" on Sunday during an interview with Channel 12 news.

"I may not always be official," Hazan added, "but I'm real; if people were offended by me let them look into their hearts and see what mistakes they made."

Hazan was involved in a series of incidents during the current Netanyahu administration, from taking a selfie with US President Donald Trump to challenging a Jordanian official to a fist fight, which he eventually called off, to calling MK Ilan Gilon (Meretz) half a person.

That remark that lead to an uproar in Knesset as Gilon is a disabled man who uses a wheelchair.
