Assessment
Israel's highest court declined to overturn a lower court's decision on Likud's internal allocation of regional slots. By deferring to the party's own judicial process, the ruling reinforces the principle that political parties largely manage their own internal affairs without judicial interference. The immediate impact is on Likud's candidate lineup.
