The Likud party says nearly 75% of its central committee members voted in favor of a proposal by Prime Minister Netanyahu and Minister Haim Katz, according to the party's announcement.
The Likud party announced early Tuesday that nearly 75% of its central committee members voted in favor of a joint proposal by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Minister Haim Katz. The vote took place during a party gathering, though the specific content of the proposal was not detailed in the announcement. The result represents a strong show of support for the leadership within the party's internal decision-making body.
This development follows a series of internal Likud votes in recent weeks. As The Zioneer reported on July 27, a previous Likud conference in Petah Tikva approved several proposals, including Netanyahu's on Section 2 by a narrow 6-vote margin, while others passed with large majorities. Earlier, on July 13, a compromise proposal by Minister Katz received final approval from a Likud committee.
The high approval rate for the current Netanyahu-Katz proposal suggests broad consensus within the party's central committee, contrasting with the narrower margins seen in some earlier votes. No further details on the proposal's provisions or next steps have been released.
