The Labor party — currently headed by Transportation Minister Merav Michaeli — plans to hold its leadership primary on July 18, according to a statement from the party’s spokesperson.

Michaeli is expected to retain her position.

In addition, Labor will hold a party conference to prepare for the upcoming Knesset elections on June 30, during which it will discuss leadership primaries and election regulations.

Leadership primaries and the party conference will be subject to the 24th Knesset’s planned dispersal, the process for which will resume tomorrow.

The primary for the rest of Labor’s slate will be held in early August, the spokesperson said.
