Gideon Tropper and Yiniv Handel Announce Split of Zionist Reservists Faction

Gideon Tropper and Yiniv Handel have announced a split in the Zionist Reservists faction they established several weeks ago. The two stated that each has made a personal decision in light of the current political reality, but emphasized that their ideological partnership remains intact.

"We are both committed to continuing to serve the country and to act for the benefit of reservists and internal cohesion, each from his own position," the statement read. The two clarified that their personal friendship will continue and that there are "no remnants of bad blood."

Tropper and Handel founded the faction with the aim of promoting the interests of reservists and fostering national unity. The split signifies a divergence in their immediate political approaches, despite their shared commitment to their core principles.
