Following the Knesset's approval of the 'Deserters Law,' veteran Likud party court judge Emanuel Weiser announced his resignation from the party and said he would work to weaken Likud in the upcoming elections, according to the Shemesh outlet.
Emanuel Weiser, a veteran Likud party court judge, announced his resignation from the party on Tuesday following the Knesset's approval of the 'Deserters Law' (חוק העריקים). According to the Shemesh outlet, Weiser said he would work to weaken Likud in the upcoming elections, marking the latest internal fracture to hit the ruling party. The move comes amid a broader trend of internal party dissent. The Zioneer has previously reported on the resignations of Likud legal adviser Avi Levi and former Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein, each citing policy disagreements with the party leadership. In a prior statement earlier this year, Weiser had also warned he would not vote for Likud if the Basic Law: Torah Study passed. The full impact of his departure on Likud's electoral prospects remains unclear, but the ongoing internal dissent underscores the party's deepening divisions.
