Likud's Constitution Committee Approves Netanyahu's Demand for Eight Reserved Knesset Seats

The Likud party's Constitution Committee has approved Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's proposal granting him eight reserved spots on the party's Knesset candidate list. Specifically, Netanyahu will receive three reserved seats within the top ten candidates, an additional three reserved seats in the second group of ten, and two more reserved seats further down the list. The committee also established that in the event of a "wartime situation," the party leader may appoint a special organizing committee to recommend candidate placements, with the final decision resting with the leader.
