Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly seeking at least five personally reserved spots on the Likud party slate ahead of the upcoming elections. This move is intended to intensify competition among candidates and refresh the party's list with figures who can attract a wider range of voters. Netanyahu initially aimed for ten reserved positions but is now expected to settle for five. Among the potential candidates for these slots are bereaved parents whose sons died in recent conflicts, reflecting an effort to diversify and strengthen the party's appeal.
