As reported in "Israel Today" after the tripartite meeting between Netanyahu, Israel Katz (Chairman of the Likud Secretariat) and Haim Katz (Chairman of the Likud Center) in which it was decided not to hold primaries, yesterday (Wednesday) the party's constitutional committee convened and approved the decision Which is now expected to move to the Likud secretariat.
Instead of primaries, Netanyahu is seeking the option of reserving about six candidates to choose from.
At the committee meeting, Netanyahu was approved armor in places 5 or 10, 26, 28, 36, 39 and 40.
A statement from Haim Katz said that the decision to cancel was made in light of the corona epidemic and high morbidity.
Knesset Speaker Yariv Levin said that "unfortunately the best way is not to hold primaries."
As reported yesterday on the "Israel Today" website, Netanyahu wants to reserve the mayor of Modi'in and the chairman of the local government center, Haim Bibbs, to a high place on the list.
There is a possibility of reserving Orly Levy, which is causing a great deal of unrest in the Likud.
The armor that Netanyahu wanted from Ambassador Ron Drummer is receding.
Party officials say Drummer is apparently not interested in getting involved in political life at this time.
News 12 reported that Netanyahu is interested in retaining former Health Ministry Director General Moshe Bar-Siman Tov. At the same time, News 13 reported that the prime minister is interested in including the mayor of BS, Rubik Danilovich, who refused.
Among those disappointed with the forthcoming decision was MK Nir Barkat, who said: "I supported running primaries for the Knesset list out of a commitment to 140,000 Likud functionaries.
I also respect the decision of the movement's institutions. "MK Shlomo Qara also called for the election, saying that" primaries for the party list must be held immediately in order to receive renewed confidence from Likud members. "
