Feiglin's fault
Some more confirmation that Prime Minister Netanyahu made his move out of fear of Moshe Feiglin. The embarrassment he suffered in Sunday's hectic Likud conference pushed Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to rethink early elections, political sources have told Arutz Sheva. Netanyahu failed to convince the assembly to conduct an open vote on the personal makeup of key positions that would have enabled him to control the conference. Feiglin supporters were prominent among conference members who vocally demanded a secret ballot, until Netanyahu gave in.Here's hoping Netanyahu allows a fair election in the Likud... someday....
The sources said that Netanyahu's unpleasant experience caused him to fear a strengthening of Moshe Feiglin's National Leadership camp in Likud, and its ramifications for the Likud, if the party enters primary season ahead of a new election.
Netanyahu did not expect to experience a defeat inside his Likud bastion immediately upon rising from the Shiva mourning period over his father, the sources added. The initiative for unity came from both Netanyahu and Mofaz, they revealed, with former Prime Minister's Bureau chief Natan Eshel and Mofaz adviser Lior Horev running things behind the scenes.

MK Zev Elkin has denied this and stated it is an outright lie. He said the negotiations started way before the Likud Convention.
