Welfare and Social Services Minister Haim Katz (Likud), who is running for the head of the Likud, has appealed to members of the Central Committee to ask for their support.

"I am asking for your help. We have an opportunity to create a new Committee, stronger and more active," wrote Katz. "I intend to use my abilities to help and strengthen the Committee, to work with the members and to strengthen the movement while maintaining its values. I will wake up the movement's institutions and I will bring together the branches."
