The Likud Constitution Committee meeting began at 17:53 Jerusalem, running an hour and a half late, according to party sources. The party's internal court ruled earlier today that Prime Minister Netanyahu cannot bring new proposals beyond those agreed on Thursday. Instead of an arranging committee, the court indicated it may allow electronic voting if a security escalation occurs.
The Likud Constitution Committee meeting began at 17:53 Jerusalem, 90 minutes behind schedule, according to party sources. The party's internal court (Beit Din) ruled earlier today that Prime Minister Netanyahu cannot introduce new proposals during the meeting beyond those already agreed upon in Thursday's session. This means the PM's updated proposal — expanding the national list and slightly reducing reserved slots — and the proposed arranging committee clause for security emergencies are off the table. Instead, the court indicated it may allow electronic voting if a security escalation occurs, replacing the need for an arranging committee. The meeting is expected to address the party's primary election method and candidate list composition.
