A Likud court rejects an appeal against allowing party leader Benjamin Netanyahu several reserved spots on the party roster ahead of the November 1 elections.
Likud has reserved spots on its slate at 14, 16, 28, 37 and 43, to be filled at Netanyahu’s discretion.
Two outgoing MKs seen as likely to get two of the reserved spots are former Yamina party members Idit Silman and Amichai Chikli, whose separate rebellions against Naftali Bennett were key to the collapse of the coalition government.
