Euro News: 'Israel Likud Party Leadership Primary Hampered by Technical Problems'


Source:Euro News- Jewish State of Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and First Lady Sara Netanyahu.

"Euro News  Severe computer problems have delayed results of an election within Israel's right-wing Likud party to decide candidates for parliamentary elections in January.

Voting for the 123,000 party members was kept open for an extra two hours to compensate.

Despite the technical breakdowns at several polling stations, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sarah were able to cast their ballots at a settlement north of Jerusalem.

Some candidates have called for the election to be postponed completely.  The electoral commission is also considering allowing an extra day of voting on Monday.

Political analysts are watching to see if the party leans further to the right because of public anger over last week's truce deal which ended Israeli airstrikes on Gaza." 

From Euro News 

"Euronews (styled on-air in lowercase as euronews) is a European television news network, headquartered in Lyon, France. The network began broadcasting on 1 January 1993 and covers world news from a European perspective.

The majority of Euronews (88%) is owned by Portuguese investment management firm Alpac Capital,[2][3][4] with the rest partly owned by several European and North African public and state-owned broadcasting organizations.

It is a provider of livestreamed news, which can be viewed in most of the world via its website, on YouTube, and on various mobile devices and digital media players."

I guess you can get further to the right then the Likud Party in Israel.
