Avishai Greenzaig Accuses Netanyahu of Blatant Lies Over Likud Primary Exemption

Avishai Greenzaig revealed the legal justifications presented by Likud's legal advisor Bumbach and CEO Sharan to the party court for granting Defense Minister Israel Katz a protected spot on the Likud list, exempting him from primaries. Regarding the exemption of Likud member Haim Katz, Netanyahu explained that Katz's long-standing contributions to the party and state, extensive public and party experience, and status as a veteran leader justified his protected candidacy for the 26th Knesset. Greenzaig sharply criticized Netanyahu's reasoning, sarcastically calling it "credible" and highlighting that Katz is the chairman of the Likud Constitution Committee, which crafted the exemption approval specifically for Netanyahu. Greenzaig further commended Netanyahu's "courage" to lie so blatantly in section 26 of the explanation.
