Likud Constitution Committee sets primaries deadline of July 28

Tourism Minister Haim Katz, who chairs the Likud Constitution Committee, announced that the committee voted unanimously to hold primaries for the party's Knesset slate no later than July 28, 2026. If elections are moved up, the primaries will shift to two months before the new election date. The decision came as Likud officials debated how much influence Netanyahu would seek over the final slate.
