Netanyahu discussed number of primary reservations at Haim Katz's home, report says

Prime Minister Netanyahu discussed the number of reserved slots in the Likud primaries during his visit to Minister Haim Katz's home Monday, according to a ynet report. The meeting, first reported earlier in the day, appears to focus on the allocation of protected slots for candidates.

The visit, first reported at 14:31 Jerusalem by The Zioneer (citing Amit Segal of N12), was initially described as a discussion over the primary method and portfolio reservations. The new detail, reported by ynet at 14:53, indicates that the conversation specifically addressed the number of 'reservations' (שריונים) — protected slots for certain candidates in the Likud primary. The meeting underscores the ongoing internal Likud dispute over the primary format and the allocation of reserved positions, which has been a point of contention within the party.
