Knesset Speaker and former Health Minister Yoel (July) Edelstein said tonight (Monday) in an interview with News 12 that he will run against former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the next Likud presidency.
Netanyahu's entourage said in response that "the Likud is a democratic party. Benjamin Netanyahu was re-elected Likud leader by a huge majority of 72.5% just less than two years ago. Anyone interested in running for leadership is welcome to do so in the primaries."
