MK Afif Abed Withdraws Supreme Court Petition Against Likud Primary District Restrictions
On Wednesday evening, MK Afif Abed withdrew his petition to the Supreme Court challenging the decision to bar current Knesset members and ministers from running in the district slots in the upcoming Likud primaries. The court hearing was moved up to Wednesday evening from Thursday noon, during which the Supreme Court justices indicated they saw no grounds to intervene in the Likud party court's ruling. Following the judges' stance, Abed retracted his petition. As a result, the decision stands: sitting Knesset members and ministers will not be allowed to compete for district positions in the Likud primaries scheduled for the coming Monday.
