Heated Clash Erupts Within Likud Party Over Knesset List
A severe confrontation occurred within the Likud party on Sunday as parliamentary elections approach, involving Minister Haim Katz and the husband of Minister Gila Gamliel, Adv. Hovav Damari. The incident took place during a hearing concerning Gamliel's petition challenging the results of the party's primary elections. Video footage captured Katz directing a curse at Damari, reportedly after Gamliel and her husband accused Katz of election manipulation.
The dispute stems from a recount of votes that altered the ranking of female candidates on the Likud's Knesset list. Following the recount, MK Etty Atia, who is reportedly close to Katz, overtook Gamliel for a higher position on the list. This outcome has intensified the internal struggles within the party over key placements ahead of the deadline for submitting party lists to the Knesset.
