Waiting for a reserved spot? Almog Cohen did not submit candidacy for Likud primaries

Deputy Minister Almog Cohen did not submit his candidacy for the Likud primaries, contrary to rumors. Assessments strengthen that Netanyahu promised him a reserved spot, or that he plans a separate run with Moshe Feiglin's Zehut party.

Deputy Minister Almog Cohen did not submit his candidacy for the Likud party primaries after the deadline passed. This raises questions: Did Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promise him a reserved spot in the party? Or is Cohen planning to run at the head of a new party? According to a previous publication by C14, Cohen is in talks with the Zehut party of former MK Moshe Feiglin, and even met with him recently in Kfar Saba. The meeting dealt with Cohen joining the party in a high place on the list. The possibility of a reserved spot is seen as plausible given the approval by the Likud Constitution Committee of a framework of eight reserved spots for Netanyahu.
