MK Tzvi Fogel Quits Jewish Power Party Ahead of Elections
Member of Knesset Tzvi Fogel announced he will not run in the upcoming Knesset elections, departing from the Otzma Yehudit party. In a social media post on Wednesday, Fogel explained his decision stemmed from a conversation regarding the party's list formation. The party chairman informed Fogel that he intended to build a list with a different character, and that Fogel's chosen "state-oriented" approach was not compatible with his vision for the upcoming slate.
Fogel, who previously served as the commander of the IDF's Operations Directorate, had been a prominent figure in Otzma Yehudit. His departure signals a potential shift in the party's direction as it prepares for the next election cycle. The specific nature of the "different character" the party chairman seeks for the list was not detailed.
