The Likud party's Constitution Committee will convene at 16:00 today (Sunday) for a renewed discussion, with party sources saying the meeting addresses efforts to 'create a faction within a faction,' according to ynet.
The Likud Constitution Committee is set to convene at 16:00 today (Sunday) for a renewed debate, with party sources telling ynet that the session aims to address efforts 'to create a faction within a faction' — a sign of deepening internal divisions within Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's party.
The meeting is the latest in a protracted internal battle over the party's primary elections and candidate slate. As The Zioneer reported, the committee has faced multiple postponements in recent weeks amid disputes between factions loyal to Netanyahu and those pushing for a more open primary process. A session scheduled for last Wednesday was canceled at the last minute due to an urgent security discussion, and a Thursday meeting was delayed amid legal developments.
The quote attributed to party sources — 'they are trying to create a faction within a faction' — suggests that the meeting will confront allegations of organized internal maneuvering to influence the candidate selection. It remains unclear whether the 16:00 session will produce a concrete decision or lead to further delays, as the party struggles to finalize its Knesset slate ahead of the next election.
