Israel Hayom reports that MK Dan Ilouz (Likud) is considering leaving the party. The report follows an earlier N12 report, covered by The Zioneer, that Ilouz had decided to leave, suggesting the situation may still be fluid.
Israel Hayom reported Saturday evening that MK Dan Ilouz (Likud) is considering leaving the party, just minutes after an initial report by N12, covered by The Zioneer, stated that Ilouz had already decided to leave. The new report, attributed to Israel Hayom, suggests that the situation may be fluid, with Ilouz possibly still weighing his options.
Ilouz, a member of the Knesset since 2022, has emerged as a prominent internal critic within the Likud-led coalition. He has been a vocal opponent of the coalition's proposed 'Basic Law: Torah Study' and the handling of military service exemptions, recently voting against a proposed softening of the law, as The Zioneer reported on June 9.
The potential departure of Ilouz, who represents a liberal-economic wing within Likud, could have implications for the coalition's stability, though the reports are still unconfirmed by the party or Ilouz himself. The Zioneer will continue to monitor the situation.
