Israel’s Netanyahu wins Likud party primary challenge in landslideOn Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed an overwhelming victory in a primary election for leadership of the ruling Likud party ahead of the general election next year.
Official results announced early Friday showed Netanyahu with 72 percent of the votes, compared to 28 percent for challenger Gideon Saar.
The win gives the embattled leader a boost ahead of Israel’s third election in less than a year and could give him another opportunity to form a government after falling short in two previous attempts in 2019.
The apparent victory also keeps alive Netanyahu's hopes of winning immunity from prosecution after being indicted last month on a series of corruption charges.............
