Likud spokesman: Netanyahu voted in ballot brought to him personally

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cast his vote in the Likud primary using a ballot that was brought to him personally, the party's spokesman said Sunday, according to ynet.

The statement from the Likud spokesman comes as the party's internal court investigates allegations that Netanyahu's vote in the primary was forged. The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday that the Likud party court opened an investigation into the alleged forgery. The spokesman's clarification appears to address those concerns by confirming that Netanyahu voted in person, with a ballot brought to him.
