PM meets top Likud official, affirms bid to call off primaries for Knesset slate

Netanyahu meets with MK Haim Katz, who chairs the Likud party’s central committee.

The two decide to convene the committee on December 5, so as to call off the primaries for the Likud Knesset slate ahead of the expected third election rematch sometime next year.

The decision does not relate to the question of snap elections for the leadership of the party, which Netanyahu’s rival Gideon Sa’ar has been pushing in a bid to replace the premier.
