Member of Knesset Vladimir Beliak from the Yesh Atid party announced his departure following disappointing election results that will leave him outside the next Knesset. Beliak, who was placed 16th on the "Yachad" list, led by Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid, will not secure a seat as the party is projected to win only 11 mandates based on preliminary results. In a post on X, Beliak described the morning as "complex" and expressed his disappointment, stating, "I gave my all, in the Knesset and in the campaign. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough. There will be time for summaries. Now, despite the disappointment, I want to look forward."
Beliak addressed his colleagues who were elected to the 26th Knesset, urging them to act decisively. "Much success to my friends and partners who were elected to the 26th Knesset. Make brave decisions," he wrote. His announcement comes amid the "Yachad" list's disappointing performance, which, pending the final vote count, is expected to leave some incumbent MKs outside the parliament.
