“Aron Shaviv, the prime minister’s chief strategist and a veteran of election campaigns everywhere from Thailand to Kenya, decided on a high risk approach… And so it proved: when the results came in, the prime minister had turned the polls on their head. Instead of being five seats behind his opponents, he was five seats ahead. At a stroke, the prime minister had achieved his own political resurrection – with a bit of help from Mr Shaviv.”

“Polls predicted that both sitting prime ministers were likely to lose; but both staged remarkable recoveries in the final stages of their campaigns by playing on fears that a left-wing government – supported by Arabs in Israel’s case and by Scots in Britain – was about to come to power. The similarities may not be coincidental… One of the main architects of the Likud’s campaign, strategist and campaign manager Aron Shaviv, met in London with senior members of the Conservative Party’s election team just four days after Netanyahu’s surprising six-seat victory over Zionist Union… Shaviv refused to be interviewed for the documentary or to confirm the level of his involvement with the Tories. What is known, however, is that it was not the first time they had consulted with him. In 2013, Shaviv offered the Conservatives an online campaign to attract British voters living outside the country. He had run a similar expatriate voting campaign in Israel during the 2012 American presidential election, which quadrupled the number of U.S. citizens voting in Israel. That campaign was funded by donors with links to the Republican Party.”

“The two most brilliant campaigns, really brilliant, were led by two campaigners that the average voter has never heard of: The American pollster Mark Melman and the strategic advisor Aron Shaviv… I remember thinking at the time that Shaviv was simply crazy, that he, the introvert Anglo-Saxon, did not understand the Israeli voter. During the preparation of the article, it became clear to me that the prime minister also thought this way. He, like almost all his ministers, clashed with Shaviv countless times - but Shaviv persisted, all the way to glorious victory.”
