Likud court approves reserved Knesset slot for Haim Katz after freezing vote
The interim order was issued during Tuesday’s Likud Secretariat vote because Haim Katz had already registered for the August 17 primaries and begun campaigning.
The Likud’s internal court has approved a reserved Knesset slot for senior minister Haim Katz, following an initial temporary blocking of the vote. The three-judge panel unanimously approved reserved slots for Defense Minister Israel Katz and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar. The court ruled that the party’s election rules permit the Likud chairman to use his allotted slots to represent various constituencies within the party.
This decision came about after Katz had registered for the August 17 primaries and commenced his campaign, making the reserved slot for him less disruptive to other candidates compared to using it for an outside contender.
