Yoav Segalovitz submitted his resignation letter to the Knesset speaker on Sunday morning, according to Israeli media reports. The move comes after he announced his resignation from the Knesset on Friday, and follows his departure from the Yesh Atid party earlier last week, intensifying speculation that he may join Ra'am chairman Mansour Abbas.
Yoav Segalovitz entered the Knesset speaker's office on Sunday morning and submitted his formal resignation letter, bringing to a close his tenure as an MK for Yesh Atid. The submission follows the announcement he made on Friday of his resignation from the Knesset, in which he thanked Yesh Atid and the Beyachad party for their partnership but did not elaborate on his next steps. That announcement came after Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid confirmed on Thursday that Segalovitz was leaving the party. The rapid sequence of events has fueled speculation that Segalovitz is preparing to join Ra'am chairman Mansour Abbas, a move that could shift the opposition's political landscape. Abbas has previously mentioned Segalovitz as a potential candidate for the National Security portfolio. As The Zioneer reported on Sunday, the submission of the letter is the final procedural step in his resignation.
