A sitting MK from the Yesh Atid party has announced their resignation, according to a report. The departing lawmaker's name was not immediately disclosed.
MK Ron Katz (Yesh Atid) announced his resignation from the Knesset and from political life early Sunday morning, according to reports. The news broke around 08:56 Jerusalem, initially carried by Ynet. This marks the latest departure in a series of resignations from the party in recent months.
Within minutes of the initial report, additional details emerged. Opposition leader Yair Lapid thanked Katz, describing him as a 'long-time friend' and 'one of the pillars of the party's field mechanism,' according to a report by N12. A subsequent report from the same timeframe confirmed that Katz is stepping away from political life entirely, without citing a reason.
This resignation follows a series of departures from Yesh Atid in recent months, as previously reported by The Zioneer. The party has seen a gradual erosion of its parliamentary representation, though the exact number of outgoing MKs has not been detailed in these reports.
The reason for Katz's resignation remains undisclosed, and it is not yet clear whether additional departures are expected. The desk will continue to track developments.
