Moshe Feiglin, who heads the Jewish Leadership faction within the Likud Party, praised Likud Chairman Binyamin Netanyahu for deciding to hold party primaries early and announced his intention to run against him for the position.  
“We have already seen Netanyahu,” Feiglin said, referring to the current opposition leader’s past service as prime minister. “The time has come for leadership with faith and determination. Therefore I am announcing my candidacy for the coming primaries.” The position also entails candidacy for prime minister in the upcoming elections.
