Feiglin's Knesset bid dead

As was very much expected, Netanyahu resorted to legal chicanery to move Moshe Feiglin and his pals from the realistic slots on Likud’s list they took in the primaries down to un-winnable positions.

Feiglin let his colleagues appeal the Likud committee’s decision while staying away from the legal mess.

For some reason, Feiglin remains bent on taking over Likud, instead of joining a proper right-wing party or creating one of his own. Even if he makes it into the Knesset in Likud, Moshe would still be constrained by party discipline in major votes. Likud will lose many of its voters if Feiglin saturates the party list with his candidates.
