Members of the Likud party are pressing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to scale back his demand for reserved slots on the party's list for the next Knesset, according to a report.
The report arrives amid an ongoing internal struggle within the Likud party over the method for selecting candidates for the next Knesset. Prime Minister Netanyahu has been pushing for roughly 10 reserved slots on the party's list, a demand that has faced resistance from senior party figures. This latest report indicates that pressure is now being applied on Netanyahu to reduce that number, though no details on the specific figures or the identity of those applying pressure were provided. The development adds to a series of closely watched moves in the Likud's internal power struggle, as The Zioneer has previously reported throughout the past weeks.
