Likud party chairman Benjamin Netanyahu announced he will submit the party's reserved Knesset list on Tuesday, ahead of the upcoming elections, after the party court's deadline passed. Netanyahu conveyed his decision to the Likud court, stating that he does not intend to allow a secret ballot for the list, despite the court's position. According to party sources, Netanyahu's legal representative, attorney Ilan Bombach, argued in a response to the court that the deadline was "unreasonable and disproportionate."
This move comes after a period of internal dispute within the Likud regarding the process of selecting candidates for the Knesset slate. The party court had set a deadline for the submission of the list, and Netanyahu's decision to proceed without a secret ballot indicates a potential clash with the court's directives.
