The Likud Constitution Committee will not vote today on the party's primary-election method, as disagreements remain between Prime Minister Netanyahu and party members, according to reports by Shachor Glik and Israel Hayom.
The Likud Constitution Committee has shelved its planned Sunday vote on party primaries and reserved slots, as internal disagreements between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other party members remain unresolved, according to reports by Shachor Glik and Israel Hayom.
Agreements appear distant, and a decision on primaries and reserved slots (shiryonim) is expected to be postponed, the reports indicate. The committee had been scheduled to vote on how the party will select its Knesset slate, a long-simmering issue that has seen repeated delays over the past weeks.
As The Zioneer previously reported, the committee has met several times since mid-June to debate the primary method and Netanyahu's reported demand for a reserved list, but no resolution has been reached. The current postponement marks another delay in what has become a protracted internal debate.
