Daphna Liel (N12) reports that Ayoub Kara will run on the Likud national list. Kara previously won the party's minority slot but was disqualified after a petition ruled that former MKs are ineligible for that slot.
As the Likud primaries proceed, Ayoub Kara has announced he will run on the national list, according to Daphna Liel (N12). Kara previously secured the party's minority slot, reserved for a member of a minority community, but was disqualified after a petition to the party court ruled that a former MK cannot hold that slot. His move to the national list adds a new dynamic to the primary race, which has been dominated by debates over reserved slots and the party's candidate selection process, as previously reported by The Zioneer. The Likud primaries are set to take place in the coming weeks, with the party's central committee having approved eight reserved slots for Prime Minister Netanyahu.
