Unrest in the ruling party: Likud Knesset members examine their political future

According to a report by the Telegram channel Zirat HaHadashot, sources identified with the political right and interviewed by the 'Maariv' newspaper report on growing unrest within the ranks of the Likud party. According to the report, Knesset members in the faction fear the holding of "especially crowded primaries" in the near future.

The fear of a challenging internal contest is leading those elected officials according to Zirat HaHadashot "to quietly check alternative political options." The channel Zirat HaHadashot is known for its fast coverage of what is happening in the Israeli political system, and often brings leaks from within the coalition factions.

As of this time, the names of the Knesset members involved in these checks have not been published, but the report emphasizes that this is a quiet move intended to ensure the political future of those members in the event that the internal party system in Likud does indeed become too complex or competitive for them.
