- Netanyahu missed Likud court's deadline for candidate list.
- Party secretariat may now vote on reserved slots.
- Individual reserved slots could be rejected by vote.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has failed to meet an ultimatum set by the Likud party's internal court to publish a list of reserved candidate slots by 9:00 PM on Wednesday. His refusal means the party secretariat may now hold a secret ballot on each reserved slot, potentially allowing individual slots to be rejected.
The internal court had given Netanyahu until the deadline to submit the list, but he remained silent. The move sets up a potential internal conflict within the ruling Likud party, as the secretariat's vote could challenge the Prime Minister's choices for reserved parliamentary seats.
