Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu passes the "strength test" in the Knesset primaries. The results maintain his influence within Likud while sidelining his rivals, and Ben-Gvir announces his support for some candidates despite being outside the party.
Likud primaries: Netanyahu's allies lead, ministers threatened (news report) — Initial results place Eli Cohen in the lead, and Netanyahu has named 4 out of the 8 he is entitled to place on the list. — The first 16 names on the list include 15 Netanyahu loyalists, according to primaries held in preparation for the Knesset elections on October 27. — If the current results hold, ministers including Ze'ev Elkin and Avi Dichter, and MKs including Hanoch Milvidsky and Keti Sheetrit, will lose their seats.
Netanyahu's Likud party announces the results of its primary elections today to select its Knesset candidates list.
Likud: The Prime Minister is very pleased with the results of the Likud primaries and congratulates those who were selected for the list
Likud statement: Prime Minister and Likud Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu is very pleased with the results of the Likud primaries and congratulates those who were selected for the list.
*Likud statement:* Prime Minister and Likud Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu is very pleased with the results of the Likud primaries and congratulates those who were selected for the list. The new Likud list reflects renewal and the integration of new forces at the top of the list. Together with the armored personnel carriers appointed by Prime Minister Netanyahu, who will further strengthen the list, the Likud team led by Netanyahu will lead to a great victory and the establishment of a broad national government immediately after the elections. This is the only way to prevent a left-wing government of Eisenkot, Yair Golan, Liberman and the Arab parties. Prime Minister Netanyahu thanks the Likud functionaries who chose according to common sense and not according to deals. Prime Minister Netanyahu also greatly appreciates those who did not manage to make it onto the list, thanks them for their contribution and intends to involve them in efforts to ensure Likud's victory.

Likud primaries | 80% of votes counted: Eli Cohen in the lead, Levin and Ohana at the top | Barkat vs. Elkin in a battle for a realistic place, Gottlieb outside the top ten | Current updates
Good morning, a brief summary of the Likud primary results after 75% of the votes have been counted. - A battle at the top between Eli Cohen and Amir Ohana for first and second place. - Miri Regev is the first woman in the Likud, currently in the top five! Tali Gottlieb is outside the top ten and after the armored vehicles, she is in 20th place. The campaign against her apparently worked. David Bitan is currently on the list in a realistic place (oscillating), despite the attack against him by Yair Netanyahu and the Prime Minister's push against him behind the scenes. Nir Barkat is oscillating in a realistic place (after the armored vehicles were weighed). The campaign against him also had its effect. The ministers who will definitely watch the next Knesset on television from home: Idit Silman, May Golan and Avi Dichter. Interim conclusion: flattering Netanyahu is no substitute for real political power. Bonus point, the low voter turnout helped those who were in on the bargain. **As mentioned, the count is not over and there could be further fluctuations.

Likud primary elections.
2026 elections - 53.5%
2022 elections - 58% How do you engineer awareness that this is a higher figure than last time even though it is lower?
Likud announcement after the vote 🏼
The polls in the Likud primaries closed tonight at 9:00 PM, and the voter turnout is 53.28%. Out of 142,051 eligible voters, 75,685 active voters voted.
Likud officials say that "this is an amazing result, with an especially high voter turnout, considering that the elections are taking place in the middle of August." According to them, the figure is a pleasant surprise given the vacation period and the fact that some active voters are staying outside of Israel. The party considers a participation rate of more than 53% to be a significant figure, exceeding early expectations.

5 things you need to know ahead of the Likud primaries
Netanyahu: I will vote tomorrow in the Likud primaries to choose a winning list that will ensure that Eisenkot and Yair Golan do not form a narrow government with the Arab parties.
Likud politicians ready to battle for shrinking number of spots in Monday primary
Hebrew media outlets predict that the Likud party primaries, scheduled for Monday, will result in more than half of its current Knesset members being dropped from the party's list for the general elections scheduled for next October.
Netanyahu held a discussion yesterday ahead of the primaries, during which he was presented with surveys according to which placing Tali Gottlieb at the top of the Likud list would take 2-3 seats away from the list. According to the surveys, she will currently reach high in the second ten, and the recommendation was to work with the functionaries to moderate her support and ensure that she does not reach too high. Netanyahu said that these were disturbing figures, as he put it, but decided not to intervene, saying that he "trusts the functionaries to make the right considerations in the primaries."
Such a clear hint.
Resignations in Netanyahu's party following competition for a seat Israeli Hebrew-language Channel 14, referring to the resignation of several Likud party members, wrote that just moments before Netanyahu's party primary elections, the competition for a guaranteed position and seat on the Likud list has led to a wave of resignations in the party.

Likud member withdraws appeal: MKs will not be able to run in districts in primaries
"To suppress a possible rebellion in the party": Netanyahu meets with Likud MKs before the primaries
Likud to the Supreme Court - Without an immediate decision on the districts, the primaries will be postponed by at least two weeks. This means they will be in danger because two weeks must be left for appeals
Judge Dafna Barak-Erez ordered MK Afif Abed and the other respondents to respond by 4:30 PM to Likud's request to rule on the appeal today - and Likud warns that waiting for the hearing tomorrow could lead to the postponement of the primaries. The company that administers the elections warned that if the printing of more than half a million voting materials does not begin today, it will not be possible to hold the primaries on August 17. In such a case, the elections will be postponed by at least two weeks. Likud warns that a postponement would cost more than an additional 5.5 million shekels and could jeopardize the submission of the party's list to the Knesset on time.
Likud asks the Supreme Court to rule today: These are the consequences of postponing the primaries
Likud in a race against the clock: The party has urgently appealed to the Supreme Court demanding a ruling today on MK Afif Abed's appeal against the ban on incumbent and former MKs from running in districts in the primaries. According to the Likud, if the ruling is not made today, it will not be possible to start printing more than half a million voting materials on time - and the primaries could be postponed by at least two weeks. This means: additional damage of more than 5.5 million shekels and a schedule that could jeopardize the submission of the Likud list to the Knesset on time.

Exactly three months until the elections: Likud will vote today on Netanyahu's method for the primaries - which will be held in twenty days
Likud's court: "Primaries should be held, the party is not one man's" @diklaaharon
Likud's court ruled: "There is no reason to cancel the primaries. We are not a one-man party"
Likud primaries feed.
The Likud Supreme Court blocked the clause that would have allowed the primaries to be canceled in the event of a security situation, and ruled: "There is no room to open even a small opening in advance to cancel the primaries. Likud is not a one-man party."
The ruling published tonight determined that in an emergency, it is preferable to postpone the primaries, and also prepare for electronic voting - even though the constitution does not currently allow this - rather than canceling the early elections.
The court also approved the possibility of promoting a candidate who was elected to a reserved seat, the placement of the state right candidate on the joint list subject to conditions, and ruled that the movement chairman's reserved list will be submitted to the Likud secretariat for approval.

How did this market resolve?
Primary elections for the Likud Party of Israel are expected to be held in 2026 to determine the composition of the Likud party list that will contest the 2026 Knesset elections. It is expected that the winner of the Likud party primary elections will occupy second place on the Likud party list, after the party leader.
This market will resolve according to the candidate who wins the 2026 Likud primary elections.
If no Likud primary election occurs by the earlier of i) the 2026 Knesset elections, or ii) December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM Tel Aviv time, regardless of whether a party list is released, this market will resolve to “No Primary by Knesset Election”. An official announcement of cancellation of the primary is not sufficient for this market to resolve to "No Primary by Knesset Election".
If the primary election takes place and election results are not known definitively by the earlier of i) the 2026 Knesset elections, or ii) December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM Tel Aviv time, this market will resolve to the individual that occupies the second place on the Likud party list to contest the 2026 Knesset elections. If no such party list is released by the earlier of i) the 2026 Knesset elections, or ii) December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM Tel Aviv time, this market will resolve to "Other".
The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting. In case of ambiguity, this market will resolve solely based on official information from Likud.
