Likud Constitution Committee to Vote Sunday on Two Proposals; Zvika Brot Tipped to Chair Arranging Committee

The Likud Constitution Committee will vote Sunday on two competing proposals for party list selection, with new details emerging on the potential composition of the arranging committee should the ministers' plan pass, according to Amit Segal (N12). Prime Minister Netanyahu's proposal calls for primaries with eight reserved slots for the PM, while the ministers' framework also reserves eight slots and sets up an arranging committee plus district primaries. If the committee option is chosen, Zvika Brot is expected to serve as chair alongside mayors Haim Bibas, Ronen Plot, Benny Bitton, Yaakov Peretz, and Shay Hajaj from the Gaza envelope.

The Likud Constitution Committee is set to vote Sunday on two competing proposals for the party's Knesset list selection, with new details emerging on the composition of the proposed arranging committee.

As The Zioneer reported at 21:32, the two proposals are Prime Minister Netanyahu's plan for primaries with eight reserved slots for the PM, and a ministers' framework that reserves eight slots and establishes an arranging committee alongside district primaries in which incumbent MKs can run. The new report from Amit Segal (N12) specifies the potential committee lineup: Zvika Brot as chairman, together with mayors Haim Bibas, Ronen Plot, Benny Bitton, Yaakov Peretz, and Shay Hajaj from the Gaza envelope.

The background includes months of internal Likud wrangling over the list mechanism, with Netanyahu pushing for greater control and party figures like committee chairman Haim Katz moving to force primaries. The vote Sunday will be a key test of the party's internal dynamics.
