Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Monday evening that he will transfer the Likud party's list of reserved coalition appointments ('shiryonim') to the party tomorrow, after the set deadline expired. The announcement came hours after a series of exchanges with the Likud internal party court.
Earlier Monday, at 17:18 Jerusalem, the Likud court issued a two-hour ultimatum for Netanyahu to publish his list of reserved Knesset candidates or face a secret ballot, as The Zioneer reported. Netanyahu responded by threatening to petition the district court if the tribunal ordered a secret ballot. N12 reported that Netanyahu was expected to miss the deadline, with publication likely pushed to Tuesday near the Likud Secretariat meeting. Subsequently, Netanyahu informed the court he would transfer the portfolios (ministerial appointments) tomorrow morning, and separately committed to publishing the identities of reserved Knesset slot holders by Tuesday morning.
The reserved positions are typically ministerial or key parliamentary slots allocated to Likud in coalition agreements. The specific composition of the list has not been detailed. It remains unclear whether the court will accept Netanyahu's timeline or if further legal proceedings will follow.
