Following his crushing victory in the Likud's primaries last night, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will deliver a victory speech to party activists this morning. Remember, the Likud-led elections were held ahead of the elections in March 2020, when, for the first time since the incumbent of former Prime Minister Silvan Shalom in 2005, MK Gideon Sa'ar has been confronted with him.

In the primaries themselves, Netanyahu won an unequivocal victory, with 72.5 percent support, and won in 99 of 106 party constituencies. After the victory, Saar called Netanyahu and the two agreed to cooperate in the upcoming elections.

After announcing the results, Sa'ar said: "I would like to thank my friends, wife and Knesset members who have made the road with me, my colleagues, and my amazing partners in volunteer weather weather. I intend to congratulate the Prime Minister on his winning the primaries. The result is clear, and I clearly tell him Most: My friends and I are behind you, for the Likud's success in the March 2 elections. "

I agree with my decision to deal, "Sa'ar added." Anyone who does not want to take a risk in the way he believes - cannot win. Already, it is clear to me that we have achieved significant achievement in harsh conditions in the face of immense forces. The Likud is our home, let's continue to work for the State of Israel and for the victory in the upcoming elections. "
