The Likud secretariat approved Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's proposed reserved slots on the party's Knesset list on Tuesday afternoon, with three members voting against, according to Israeli media reports.
The Zioneer reports that the Likud secretariat approved Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's proposed reserved slots on Tuesday afternoon, with three members voting against. The specific number of slots and the names of those reserved were not detailed in the initial reports, though the opposition of three secretariat members signals some internal resistance.
The issue of reserved slots has been a recurring source of friction within Likud. As The Zioneer has previously reported, Netanyahu initially sought up to 10 reserved slots earlier this summer, a demand that triggered pushback from senior party figures. In a compromise approved by the party's Central Committee in July, eight reserved slots were authorized. Tuesday's secretariat vote advances the implementation of that compromise as the party finalizes its list for the upcoming Knesset elections.
