Netanyahu drops bid to scrap Likud primaries, seeks 8-10 reserved slots instead

After internal resistance to replacing Likud primaries with a selection committee, Netanyahu shifted to seeking 8-10 reserved spots on the Likud list. The proposal would give him influence over top-ten placements, with FM Gideon Sa'ar and former Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon reportedly among the figures Netanyahu wants in winnable slots.
