Likud primaries | With 25% of votes counted: Eli Cohen, Yariv Levin, and Amir Ohana lead

Eli Cohen, Yariv Levin, and Amir Ohana are leading in the Likud primaries with approximately 25% of the votes counted. They are followed by several other candidates, including Miri Regev, Miki Zohar, and Yoav Kisch, according to Arutz Sheva - Israel National News.

The primaries have also seen Economy and Industry Minister Nir Barkat taking measures to ensure the integrity of the voting process. He hired a team of undercover private investigators to monitor polling stations and the counting center, as reported by the Jerusalem Post. The team is equipped with recording devices to collect evidence in case of any irregularities.

Barkat's move comes amid concerns about possible fraud and allegations that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's associates may be working against him. According to sources, Barkat's team plans to correct any wrongdoing, report it to the authorities, and take those responsible to justice if any irregularities are found.
