(Ynet).Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu voted Thursday in the Likud Central Committee on whether to bring forward the elections for party positions. This is not an easy issue for the prime minister, who urged 2,500 members of the Central Committee to vote. The ballot will remain open till 10:00 pm, and the results will be published a couple of hours later.
"This is a hard task," Netanyahu said in Metzudat Zeev, where he cast his vote. "The threshold of two-thirds of voters is high, but I trust the Likud to focus on larger national objectives. Our biggest enemy is complacency – if they are against, they'll still come to vote. And if they're in favor, they'll get 'David and Moshe' for vote for them."
"I haven't singled out anyone as an enemy,This has generally been a national movement in support of Menachem Begin, peace and the IDF. If the vote doesn't go the way I hope, most members understand this will mean we'll need to be active in the coming months which will prevent us from focusing on the main issues.
"This is the time for the party to help in practice, We respect the legal framework. Our task is to do what we need to do via a majority of two-thirds. The truth is, it will be very difficult, but nonetheless this is what we'll do."
