Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has got a shot in the arm for a fresh term as the country’s premier ahead of snap elections in March this year. He has been re-elected as the leader of the ruling Likud party in the primary elections. The members of his party not only backed him overwhelmingly but also chose to elect a list of moderate candidates supported by him to contest the upcoming general elections. The Israeli prime minister won around 80 per cent of the vote in the party primary against his challenger, Danny Danon.
