01 · THE DISPATCH

Minister Eli Cohen (Likud) said Thursday that he expects Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to receive 6-7 reserved slots ('shiryonim') on the Likud party slate in the upcoming primary election. Cohen made the remark in an interview, which was reported on social media. The comment comes as Likud prepares for internal party primaries, with the allocation of reserved slots — positions on the slate set aside for designated candidates — a recurring point of contention among party factions. It remains unclear when the Likud primaries will be held; no official date has been set. Neither Netanyahu nor his office has commented on Cohen's assessment. The Zioneer has not reported any other recent Likud primary developments.
