The Likud Constitution Committee will convene on Sunday to deliberate on party primaries and reserved candidate slots (shiryonim), according to journalist Dafna Liel. The meeting follows a series of postponed sessions dealing with the contentious issue of how the party will select its Knesset slate.
Dafna Liel reports that the Likud Constitution Committee has set a meeting for Sunday to discuss two interrelated issues: holding primary elections and the allocation of reserved slots (shiryonim) for candidates. The committee has been at the center of an internal party struggle over the method for selecting the Likud slate ahead of the next Knesset elections. As The Zioneer has reported, previous attempts by committee chairman Haim Katz to convene the body have been postponed multiple times amid tension between factions pushing for a full primary and those seeking an alternative selection process that would give Prime Minister Netanyahu greater control over the list. The Sunday meeting will test whether the committee can finally advance a decision, or whether the internal deadlock will persist.
