The greatest concern currently facing former Prime Minister and Likud party leader Benjamin Netanyahu is which names will appear on his party’s Knesset list in the Nov. 1 election. The list will be determined in primaries scheduled for Aug. 10. Some 140 candidates will be competing for a place high on the list.
Netanyahu wants the list to be “clean” and “official,” so that it appeals to a wide range of voters. This is especially important to him now, with criminal charges hanging over him.
