The Labor Party leadership primary may have to be delayed for a second time due to a decision by the party’s internal courts early Wednesday morning, Labor sec.-gen. Eitan Cabel said on Wednesday. Leadership candidate Binyamin Ben Eliezer persuaded the court to permit thousands of labor members whose registration forms were disqualified to appeal their disqualification. The court decided to allow the disqualified members to appeal until Oct. 28, two weeks before the Nov. 9 election.
