The internal court of Israel’s ruling Likud party has overturned a bid by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to cancel the party's upcoming primary for the election slate in the event of a war.
The tribunal stressed the fundamental importance of maintaining the vote for the party's election slate, ruling that nixing the ballot would constitute a "wholesale violation of party constitution."
The court further stated that it would step in directly if an emergency situation were to prevent the ballot from taking place, thereby preserving internal democratic mechanisms within the party despite leadership efforts to bypass them during wartime scenarios.
