Likud primaries for Knesset candidates
Today marks the launch of the Likud Party's primaries in Israel, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, to select the party's candidates for the Knesset elections scheduled for October 27th. About 140,000 party members are participating in the voting, with the competition focusing on determining who will be on the party's electoral list, which influences their chances of winning in the upcoming elections. This year, modifications were made to the electoral system; however, Netanyahu has expanded his authority over candidate selection, now choosing 9 out of 29 seats on the list, thereby strengthening his control over the formation of a potential government. Despite attempts to cancel the internal elections, Netanyahu affirms his confidence in party members to select their candidates independently and hopes for support for his electoral list to avoid forming a narrow government with Arab parties, according to his statements. Polls indicate that Benjamin Netanyahu and Yair Golan could each secure 23 seats, making them the largest two parties in Parliament, but both face the challenge of forming a ruling majority.
