These scenarios are written by an AI language model from the headline and summary above. They are not predictions from the newsroom, and they are not evidence of anything. Every one is given a deadline and checked against later coverage, and the score is published on the ledger — including the ones that miss.

• Awaiting deadline 55% Status Quo Primary Proceed

  The Supreme Court withdrawal does not halt the process. The primary election proceeds on schedule, resulting in the distribution of the remaining slots as originally planned, though potentially with increased internal factional friction.

  Watch for: An official Likud press release confirms the primary vote proceeded as scheduled on Monday.

• Awaiting deadline 25% Immediate Internal Challenge

  A disgruntled faction within Likud, viewing the withdrawal as a political maneuver, formally challenges the legitimacy of the primary's outcome to a lower judicial body before the vote.

  Watch for: A formal petition is filed with the Israeli High Court challenging the eligibility rules for the Likud primary.

• Awaiting deadline 15% Netanyahu Imposes Interim Order

  To prevent chaos, PM Netanyahu leverages his influence to issue an internal party directive overriding the current procedural deadlock, effectively preempting the primary results for key positions.

  Watch for: Benjamin Netanyahu issues a televised statement directing Likud regional chapters to adhere to his preferred candidate list.

• Awaiting deadline 5% Unexpected Judicial Intervention

  Against expectations, a different judicial body (e.g., a specific panel of judges) issues a swift ruling that nullifies the withdrawal, forcing a re-evaluation of the candidates' eligibility immediately.

  Watch for: A dissenting opinion is published by a specific Israeli Supreme Court justice regarding the procedural handling of the primary.
