Likud Constitution Committee Meeting Canceled Last-Minute Over Urgent Security Discussion

The Likud party's Constitution Committee meeting, scheduled to discuss primaries, was canceled at the last moment due to an urgent security discussion, according to Channel 14. The cancellation follows a series of postponements in the party's primary process.

The Likud Constitution Committee's meeting tonight was canceled at the last minute, with Channel 14 reporting an urgent security discussion as the reason. The meeting had been scheduled to address party primaries, a topic that has generated internal tensions. The cancellation came shortly after the 20:00 Jerusalem scheduled start time.

The development follows a series of postponements in the Likud primary process. Earlier today at 15:31 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported, citing party sources, that the same committee meeting had been canceled due to a security discussion and rescheduled for Monday at 12:00. That report also noted a venue change to the Prime Minister's Office due to protest fears, as documented in the initial version of this story. Separately, at 15:31 Jerusalem, the party's primaries convention was postponed to Monday, attributed to Prime Minister Netanyahu's scheduling constraints.

The Likud primary process has been mired in internal disputes for weeks. As The Zioneer reported on June 17, committee chairman Haim Katz has pushed for primaries while facing boycotts and opposition from members. The party has seen multiple delays and venue changes, with tensions running high.

No further details on the nature of the urgent security discussion were provided. It remains unclear whether the cancellation is linked to broader security assessments or a specific threat.
