The Likud Constitution Committee has postponed its Sunday meeting, which was set to discuss a compromise framework for party primaries, due to ongoing disagreements within the party, according to Mati Tuchfeld of C14. The meeting was rescheduled after parties failed to reach an agreement on the outline.
This marks the latest delay in the Likud Constitution Committee's attempts to settle the party's primary election rules. As The Zioneer reported earlier today (Wednesday, 08:57 Jerusalem), an earlier session was postponed amid internal party struggles. Sunday's meeting had been convened to discuss a compromise framework ("metav hapeshara") following a series of previous delays, including a Thursday debate on primaries that was pushed back last week (June 21). Chairman Haim Katz has been pushing for a decisive session to establish rules for primaries, with the party deeply divided over whether to use an arranging committee or hold a full primary. The current postponement indicates that the internal rift remains unresolved, with talks ongoing behind the scenes.
