Likud head Binyamin Netanyahu has warned several candidates against supporting Moshe Feiglin, head of the party's “Jewish Leadership” faction, in the upcoming primary elections. Netanyahu told Members of Knesset and new party members that anyone who supports Feiglin will not be awarded a cabinet position if Netanyahu is charged with forming a government.

Several days earlier, Netanyahu warned Likud members not to attend a rally in support of Feiglin. Likud MKs did not attend the event.
