Ynetnews reports: The Likud court on Wednesday afternoon canceled the upcoming elections for party head, deciding unanimously that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was the chosen candidate and would continue as chairman of the Likud.

With no one to run against him, the elections would have been between Netanyahu and a blank slip, but the controversial vote will no longer take place. According to the court, the Likud’s constitution stipulates that because there is only one candidate, there is no need for primaries.
