Another Likud MK says he will not run in primaries, accuses party of shirking responsibility

A second Likud MK has announced he will not participate in the party's upcoming primary, according to reports, saying the leadership is 'doing everything to avoid responsibility.' The statement adds to internal tensions as the primary date remains uncertain.

The announcement adds to a series of signs of internal discord in Likud. As The Zioneer reported on July 7, primary candidates had expressed uncertainty shortly before the scheduled vote. On July 8, The Zioneer reported anger among Likud members over the possibility of the primaries being canceled. The latest decision by another MK not to run underscores the growing unease within the party.
