Netanyahu consolidates Likud ahead of polls
The article focused on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's expansion of control over the Likud party, as he decided to grant guaranteed seats to certain ministers on the party's electoral list, including Defense Minister Yisrael Katz, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, and Health Minister Haim Katz. The party's secretariat approved the inclusion of Sa'ar and Katz in the guaranteed seats, while voting on Katz's position was frozen following a recommendation from an internal court citing a conflict of interest. This move is considered a step up by Netanyahu to strengthen his influence at the expense of party members and the upcoming primary election results, where these decisions are expected to reduce the number of seats won by elected party members. Increasing anger and opposition within the party protest policies seen as an exploitation of his authority and manipulation of membership.
