Israeli Supreme Court Advances Emergency Hearing on Likud Primaries Delay
The Israeli Supreme Court has agreed to advance an emergency hearing regarding the Likud party's upcoming primaries to 9:00 PM on Tuesday. This decision follows a request by Likud's legal advisor, Attorney Ilan Bombach, who urged the court to either move the appeal hearing earlier or issue a ruling based on the written arguments already submitted. The urgency stems from concerns that without an immediate decision, the party cannot begin printing voting materials, potentially delaying the primaries originally scheduled for August 17 by at least two weeks. Such a delay could jeopardize Likud's ability to submit its candidate list on time for the 26th Knesset elections. Earlier on Tuesday, Likud had appealed to the Supreme Court to expedite the process, warning of the severe consequences of postponement. The situation has also caused internal strain within the party, as highlighted by a Likud minister expressing frustration over communication breakdowns.
