Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will officially launch his Likud party's general elections campaign at a large gathering of Likud activists on Monday evening in Tel Aviv. At the event, Netanyahu will present his plans for his coming years as prime minister, if he receives the mandate to form the next government after the March 17 elections. The prime minister will also present the new Likud Knesset list produced by the results of the party's primary elections last week. Netanyahu hopes to ride the wave of momentum created by the primary elections into the general elections campaign. The prevailing feeling among Likud MKs and activists is that the party will increase its number of seats and be the largest party in the next Knesset, ensuring that Netanyahu will remain prime minister. This feeling stems from the new party list, which has a balanced composition of veteran and fresh faces, as well as Netanyahu's reasserted authority within the party, something that had been called into question in the past year.
