Gideon Sa’ar booed at Likud gathering

Likud MK Gideon Sa’ar, who is challenging Netanyahu for the leadership of the party, is booed at a Likud Central Committee gathering. Hecklers interrupt his speech with cries of “Bibi, Bibi,” using the prime minister’s nickname.

Others retort with chants of “Gideon, Gideon.”

Likud’s Central Committee is meeting to begin the process of planning and scheduling the party primary, officials said Wednesday, with Sa’ar expected to pose the first real challenge to the premier’s leadership in 14 years.
