Yedioth Ahronoth reported Tuesday morning that Gilad Erdan is expected to announce his candidacy for the next Knesset elections next week. The report did not specify which party or political framework Erdan would run under.
Erdan, who served as Israel's ambassador to the UN and the US, resigned from the Israel Aerospace Industries board in June. As The Zioneer reported, he has been in talks with former ministers Yuli Edelstein and Ayelet Shaked about a possible joint political run. The three have not yet announced a formal alliance.
The expected announcement comes as parties across the political spectrum prepare for the next election cycle, the date of which has not yet been set. Erdan's office has not commented on the report.
