Netanyahu assembles the puzzle: Kahlon on his way in - and Gottlieb may pay the price

In Likud, preparations are underway for the primaries: Netanyahu is trying to bring in Moshe Kahlon, Israel Katz may be placed second, fourth, or sixth, and Gideon Sa'ar is expected in the top ten. The commitment to Katz is up to third place, but results may change. Behind the discussions is a dispute over the nature of the slots and a fear of 'parachuted candidates'.

In Likud, preparations are underway for the primaries, and the composition of the top of the list is at the center of discussions. Netanyahu is trying to bring in Moshe Kahlon, who is seen as one of the few names that can bring in additional votes, thanks to his association with social issues and the fight against the cost of living. Israel Katz received a commitment to be placed up to third place, but given the structure of the list, he may be second, fourth, or sixth. The assessment is that he will be fourth. Gideon Sa'ar is expected to enter the top ten. Behind the discussions, there is a dispute over the nature of the slots, with a fear of 'parachuted candidates' whose commitment is uncertain. The final results will only be determined after the primaries.
