Eli Cohen secured first place in Likud’s August 17, 2026, primary for the Knesset slate, finishing well ahead of Amir Ohana and Yariv Levin after final vote counts showed strong support from party members. His organizational efforts among activists and unaffiliated voters drove the outcome, while Prime Minister Netanyahu expressed satisfaction with the results and no significant internal challenger emerged. Trader consensus reflects these confirmed primary developments, with the low probability assigned to no primary occurring before the October election. Late disputes over tally procedures or procedural appeals could theoretically alter slate positioning, though published results with full vote counts make such shifts improbable.
