Members of Israel’s Likud Party will cast two ballots when primaries are held Tuesday, one for a candidate on a list that includes former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the other for a candidate on a list that excludes him. Party officials approved the plan to ensure that Likud will be able to field a candidate should Netanyahu be ineligible to run when early elections for the premiership are held next year.
