Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is looking into the possibility of moving up the Likud primaries so that they take place within two months.
In recent days, Netanyahu spoke about the idea with a number of officials in the faction, though Netanyahu's associates said on Saturday night that while he was considering the move, he has not yet made a final decision on the matter.
The Likud government headed by Binyamin Netanyahu is in the midst of a battle against Islamic terrorism and is facing complex security, political and economic challenges, and certainly it's not time for political moves that might make it more difficult and lead to political instability in Israel," Katz said.
Sa'ar, meanwhile, responded to the report and wrote on his Twitter account, "I find it hard to believe that in the middle of the wave of terrorism and on the day it hit Ra'anana - that the Prime Minister is engaged in petty politics."
