Political analyst Nadav Elimelech assesses that yesterday's Likud court decision may lead to an arranging committee or postponement of primaries due to unfeasible timelines. He notes the voter registry is not ready and petitions remain open for members with unresolved membership issues.
Political analyst Nadav Elimelech assessed Tuesday evening that the Likud party faces a potential shift to an arranging committee or a postponement of its primaries following a court decision from yesterday. According to Elimelech, the voter registry is incomplete and petitions remain open for members with code 99 issues or unprocessed membership renewals.
The Zioneer has previously reported on Likud's internal strife, including a court ruling that forced approximately half of the sitting faction to resign from the Knesset to pursue district slots, and ongoing disputes over Prime Minister Netanyahu's demand for reserved slots. The analyst's assessment suggests that the procedural hurdles may prove insurmountable within the current timeline, potentially derailing the primary process.
