Besides Sa’ar, another top Likud MK to challenge PM if primaries held — report
After Gideon Sa’ar, another senior Likud lawmaker intends to run against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if party primaries are held, the Kan public broadcaster reports.
The report does not name that MK, but says he’ll likely announce his bid publicly in the coming weeks.
He reportedly made the decision in light of the criminal charges announced today against the premier.
