Political future of Likud members in the shadow of Netanyahu's new plan

Pars Today — The Zionist regime Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan to restructure the Likud party’s election list, allocating reserved seats to new candidates, has sparked widespread concern among current ministers and Knesset members and cast uncertainty over the political future of many.

Under Netanyahu’s controversial new plan, a significant number of reserved seats will be assigned to new candidates, potentially sidelining many current ministers and party representatives.

According to Pars Today, internal calculations indicate that Netanyahu himself holds at least five reserved seats, with efforts underway to increase that number to eight. Additional quotas for women and young candidates are also planned, ensuring the inclusion of 21 new candidates.

These changes mean that of the roughly 45 current ministers and Knesset members, only 13 will have a realistic chance of securing a spot in the next Knesset, while polls suggest Likud’s maximum potential would be about 27 seats.

Analysts describe the move as a broad, almost complete restructuring of the party list, likely removing much of the current leadership. Mickey Zohar, the Zionist regime’s Minister of Culture and Sports, called Netanyahu’s plan “complex and challenging” and expressed doubts about the full allocation of reserved seats.
