Likud Primaries 'Pure Damage' to Netanyahu, Assessment Says

An Israeli political assessment argues that holding Likud primaries is purely damaging to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, offering no benefit.

The assessment was reported Tuesday evening. The Zioneer has previously reported on Likud members expressing anger over the possibility of canceled primaries, a survey showing Netanyahu losing in Likud internal polls, and a party court ruling that dealt a setback to the prime minister.
