The Likud Party announced the official results of its primary early Tuesday
morning in Tel Aviv.

Likud faction chair Gideon Sa'ar won the second spot on the party's Knesset
list after Likud chair Binyamin Netanyahu, followed by MK Gilad Erdan in
third place, MK Reuven Rivlin in fourth place, and former science minister
Bennie Begin in fifth place.

The list continued with Moshe Kahlon, then MK Silvan Shalom, then former IDF
chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Moshe Ya'alon in eighth place.

MK Yuval Steinitz won ninth place on the Knesset list, Limor Livnat 13th
place, Dan Meridor 17th and party activist Moshe Feiglin 20th place. Former
IDF deputy chief of General Staff Uzi Dayan was the last name announced, in
42nd place.

According to recent polls, Likud could sweep the coming Knesset elections,
and as such those who secured high places on the party's list stand to gain
senior governmental positions.

Netanyahu spoke after the 41 successful candidates were called to the stage,
announcing, "Friends, today we chose a new leadership for Israel."

Some 50,000 Likud members cast votes because they "know what difficult
challenges Israel faces today: Economic, security and diplomatic," he said.
These issues "demand a response," he went on, calling the Likud Knesset list
"a list that represents Israel."

Before the Likud gathering rose to sing the national anthem, Hatikva,
Netanyahu vowed that his party would continue work to "bring back hope,
security and pride to Israel on February 10th" at the general elections.

The Likud suffered an embarrassing blow on Monday when problems with its
computer system and long lines at polling stations forced the party's legal
advisers to extend the voting in its primary race until 1 a.m.

Netanyahu wanted to resume the voting for at least a few hours on Tuesday
afternoon, but Feiglin threatened to petition the High Court of Justice, and
the party's legal advisers decided that there was no legal basis for
allowing the vote to go on for another day.

The head of the Likud's election committee, retired judge Yehoshua Gross,
said he made the decision to extend the voting in an effort to enable as
many Likud members as possible to vote.
