The Likud party court ruled Tuesday that the Central Committee must convene this Thursday to vote on the primaries regulations, approving a petition by Tel Aviv District candidate Dor Harlef. The vote will include Prime Minister Netanyahu's proposal on reserved slots and a separate proposal by MK Haim Katz to allow MKs and ministers to run in districts and slots.
The Likud party court ruled Tuesday that the party's Central Committee must convene this Thursday to vote on the primaries regulations, approving a petition filed by Tel Aviv District candidate Dor Harlef. The ruling came with the consent of the party's legal adviser, Adv. Shlomo Bombach.
The vote will address two key proposals: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's proposal regarding reserved slots (shiryonim), and a separate proposal by MK Haim Katz, chairman of the Constitution Committee, to allow sitting MKs and ministers to run in districts and slots. Harlef has called on Central Committee members to support Netanyahu's proposal on reserved slots but to vote against Katz's proposal.
As The Zioneer reported, the Likud Constitution Committee has been deliberating the primaries regulations for weeks, with multiple court petitions and postponed sessions. The party court had previously ordered the committee to adopt regulations by a Tuesday 13:00 deadline, which it missed, leading to the current ruling. The court's decision effectively bypasses the committee and brings the matter directly to the Central Committee.
