Yesh Atid MK Keren Alharar announced Thursday that she will not seek reelection on the party's ticket, according to The Zioneer. She joins a growing list of party members departing ahead of the next Knesset elections.
Yesh Atid MK Keren Alharar announced Thursday she will not seek reelection in the next Knesset elections on the party’s ticket, making her the third sitting MK from the party to step back from the race this week. The announcement follows the departures of MKs Debbie Biton and Tatiana Mazarsky, who on Tuesday said they would not run again, as The Zioneer reported. The wave of exits from Yesh Atid began in early August, when party leader Yair Lapid announced that MK Yoav Segalovitz was leaving the party, with reports indicating he plans to join the Ra’am party — a move that could reshape the opposition, as The Zioneer reported on August 6. The departures come as Yesh Atid prepares for the upcoming elections amid internal shifts. Alharar’s reasons for stepping down have not been disclosed. The Zioneer will continue to monitor developments.
