The Jerusalem District Court issued an injunction blocking the Likud party's reserved candidate slots, according to reports. Minister Yoav Kisch called the decision 'scandalous', saying it would not be done to any other party.
Today, the Jerusalem District Court issued an injunction preventing the Likud party from implementing reserved candidate slots for its upcoming primary list. Minister Yoav Kisch (Education) strongly condemned the decision, calling it an unprecedented intervention in internal party affairs. The court's move follows a previous injunction in June that blocked the Likud convention from convening, as The Zioneer reported. The latest ruling adds to ongoing tensions between the judiciary and the coalition.
