Likud party court rules ministers, MKs cannot run in districts

The Likud party's internal court has ruled that ministers and Knesset members cannot run in the party's regional districts, according to reports. The decision reportedly prevents Minister Haim Katz from promoting his associate MK Eti Atiya's candidacy.

The Likud party court's ruling introduces new restrictions on the candidacy of sitting ministers and lawmakers in the party's internal district elections. The decision specifically impacts Minister Haim Katz's ability to support MK Eti Atiya's candidacy. The full implications for the party's upcoming primaries are not yet clear.
