2012 Likud leadership election

[2] Feiglin has worked to rally support from Likud voters in the West Bank, warning that Netanyahu will "turn left" and freeze construction again.

[1] On 3 January 2012, Feiglin launched his campaign with hundreds of supporters at the Ramada Renaissance Hotel in Jerusalem, and outlined his platform.

In addition, he would appoint a Likud defense minister, criticizing Netanyahu for maintaining former Labor leader Ehud Barak, properly equip soldiers for missions, demand that [U.S. President] Obama release Jonathan Pollard, and prevent a Meretz take-over of the Israeli Supreme Court.

[6] A poll released on 16 January 2012 by Ma'agar Mochot showed Netanyahu leading Feiglin 51% to 35%, with 14% of Likud members undecided.

[8] In addition, allegations of "vote-fixing" were raised, indicating that Feiglin may have won a significantly higher percentage of the vote.
