Likud legal adviser Ilan Bombach is reportedly considering filing a petition to the District Court challenging the party court's decision to bar sitting MKs and ministers from running in district primaries, according to reports.
The consideration follows the party court's ruling, reported earlier, which bars sitting MKs and ministers from competing in district primaries without resigning their current seats. Bombach’s possible petition to the District Court would mark a legal escalation of the internal dispute over the Likud primary regulations. The party court’s decision carries significant implications for the faction’s composition, potentially forcing many MKs out of the Knesset if they choose to run in district slots.
