Journalist Amit Segal (N12) said Tuesday morning that the Likud party court's ruling barring sitting MKs from running in district primaries means at least half of the party's current Knesset faction will be left out in the upcoming elections.
The assessment echoes an earlier analysis published by The Zioneer at 07:41, which noted that MKs seeking to run in districts must resign from the Knesset by Tuesday, effectively thinning the faction's ranks. The Likud party court had ruled on July 16 that the primary ballot wording was misleading, ordering the removal of language that presented the second option as the prime minister's proposal, as The Zioneer reported. The primary elections are expected to determine the party's candidate list for the next Knesset.
