Likud MP Plans Appeal Against Court Ban on Incumbents in Party Primaries

Likud Member of Knesset Afif Abd announced his intention to appeal the District Court's ruling that prohibits current Knesset members and ministers from running in the party's primaries by district. Abd criticized the court's decision, stating that Likud members are the sovereign authority in this process and that the court should not override their decision. He also pointed to alleged irregularities at a polling station in Rishon Lezion linked to David Bitan. Abd called on the Supreme Court to overturn the Likud court's ruling, which he claims interfered without proper authority.
