The Likud party will vote Monday on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's proposed format for the party's primary elections, with the primaries scheduled for 20 days from now — roughly mid-August — according to a report by Amit Segal (N12). The vote comes exactly three months ahead of the general election. The party has been debating the primary format and schedule for weeks. As The Zioneer has reported, the Likud Constitution Committee had initially set primaries for August 4, but the timeline shifted amid internal negotiations over reserved slots and the voting method. Today's vote on Netanyahu's proposal is expected to determine the rules for the candidate selection process.
