Israel, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, is moving to expand his share on the Likud party list for the upcoming elections by securing prominent positions for Defense Minister Yisrael Katz and Foreign Minister Gidon Sa'ar. This comes as part of his efforts to strengthen his influence within the party amid intense competition for seats, with concerns growing over the possible exclusion of current Knesset members due to candidacy laws—especially following the party court’s decision invalidating the formula that allowed ministers and MKs to compete for district seats. It is expected that the number of seats controlled by Netanyahu will rise to nine or ten, as he strives to create a more balanced and appealing list to regain voter support. The primary elections are scheduled for August 17, with around 142,000 members eligible to vote. Internal tensions are escalating due to the struggle over top spots and the potential impact on the future of the next parliament.
