An appeal to MK Yuli Edelstein published Sunday evening gives him 72 hours to resign from the Knesset and return his mandate, or face a petition to the Likud party court to have him removed, according to The Zioneer.
In an appeal circulated Sunday evening, an unidentified group gave MK Yuli Edelstein an ultimatum to resign from the Knesset within 72 hours or face a petition to the Likud party court for his expulsion. Edelstein, a former Knesset speaker who left the Likud in July to form a new political framework for national unity, has been a vocal critic of the coalition's policies, particularly on military conscription. The appeal did not name the signatories, but the threat to invoke the party court signals growing internal opposition to Edelstein's independent path. The deadline expires Wednesday evening. Edelstein has not yet responded publicly. The Zioneer reported in July that Edelstein's departure from Likud was met with mixed reactions, including calls from opposition figure Naftali Bennett to bring him back.
