Likud primaries see Netanyahu strengthen control
The Israeli Likud Party held its internal primary elections, with the voting in Jerusalem indicating an initial strengthening of Benjamin Netanyahu's control over the party, despite limited turnout that did not exceed 26.44% of party members by midday. These elections took place amid reforms that granted Netanyahu greater influence in selecting party candidates, as he controls two-thirds of the top positions on the list, with candidates competing for limited seats among the list of contenders. The voting process experienced an active atmosphere despite varying levels of participation between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, and some internal members faced challenges through "recommendation lists" and reports of fake ballots. Through these elections, Netanyahu aims to bolster his internal position and diminish the influence of his opponents, amid expectations that some members may break away from the party if they do not succeed in securing prominent positions.
