Ariel Kallner Concedes After Likud Primaries, Vows Continued Nationalist Activism
Following an unexpected low placement in the Likud primaries, Knesset member Ariel Kallner announced his departure from the Israeli parliament on Tuesday. Despite the setback, Kallner expressed gratitude to the 17,321 Likud members who supported him and thanked activists who aided his campaign. He also paid tribute to bereaved families from the Forum for Justice and Law, with whom he fought for a national inquiry committee to prevent judicial cover-ups, emphasizing his unwavering commitment to their cause.
Kallner reaffirmed that his activism for the people and land of Israel began long before his parliamentary tenure and pledged to continue his efforts wherever he may be, as long as he has the strength. He concluded by declaring his full dedication to securing victory for the nationalist camp under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the upcoming general elections, ending with the rallying cry, "The people of Israel live!"
