01 · THE DISPATCH

Tonight, the internal turmoil within the Likud party deepened as senior legal adviser Avi Levi submitted his resignation to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Avi Levi, who serves as the party's legal counsel, informed the PM of his decision after disagreements over procedural matters concerning the upcoming party convention and a widening rift with the Likud director general. The resignation is the latest sign of friction within the ruling party, which has seen growing public frustration among party members over leadership decisions, including the cancellation of primaries, as The Zioneer reported earlier this week. Details of the convention dispute and the specific terms of the resignation remain unclear, and it is not yet known whether Levi will continue in any other capacity within the party framework.
