Yuli Edelstein Names Candidate for Prime Minister and Announces Likud Resignation
Knesset member Yuli Edelstein has announced his forthcoming political moves following the formation of a new party with Gilad Erdan. In an interview with Kan Reshet Bet, Edelstein declared that he will officially resign from the Likud faction and submit his resignation from the Knesset in the coming days.
Edelstein clarified the new party's stance regarding coalition blocs, emphasizing that neither he nor Erdan intend to guarantee an automatic majority for any narrow coalition. "We will not be the 61st vote for a slim government, regardless of who leads it," he stated.
Regarding the candidate for prime minister, Edelstein said the choice will be based on who can secure greater Zionist support, indicating a focus on broader backing rather than narrow political deals.
