MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 26th December, 2019) The Likud party of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled on Thursday to hold a leadership vote to determine who will lead the party in the next snap general election in March.
Netanyahu's key rival is former interior minister and ally Gideon Sa'ar.
The conservative party, normally united, saw a split as Sa'ar built his line on criticism of Netanyahu over his failure twice to form a government which eventually pushed Israel in political hiatus, with the country currently headed to its third snap general vote in a year. Netanyahu is also confronted by three corruption indictments.
