News Brief

(IsraelNN.com) Chairman Yaakov Amidror of the "public committee" selected to lead the Jewish House party announced on Thursday that there was no justification to renew discussion of primaries. In a letter written to the committee, Amidror said the party's Knesset members took back their announced intention to resign over the matter of primaries during a meeting they held with him Wednesday night.

Committee member, Rabbi Tsefaniah Drori told Arutz 7 yesterday that it was preferable for the committee to chose the party chairman -someone not serving in the Knesset - because the winner of primaries would only have the support of some members. He said that if such a person could not be found, the committee would pick a Member of Knesset.
