Amir Segal Predicts Netanyahu Moves to Cancel Likud Primaries

Amir Segal, a political analyst for Channel 12 News, suggested that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking to cancel the upcoming Likud party primaries. Segal explained that all recent proposals advanced in the party's Constitution Committee appear aimed at this goal. He noted that Netanyahu's authorization to cancel the primaries is not contingent solely on a war breaking out on the primary day but could also lead to the cancellation of related party conferences. Segal described the situation as rapidly moving toward the establishment of a coordinating committee that would bypass the primaries. He emphasized that Netanyahu himself does not want the primaries to take place, asserting that "many more people want Netanyahu himself rather than his party list." This analysis was shared during an interview on 103FM radio.
