MK Sharan Haskel is reportedly interested in splitting from the New Hope party to form a single-member faction, following her resignation from the Foreign Ministry, according to ynet.
MK Sharan Haskel is reportedly seeking to split from the New Hope party to form a one-member faction, according to a ynet report on Wednesday. The move comes after her resignation from the Foreign Ministry earlier this week, which she has since challenged by petitioning the High Court of Justice. As The Zioneer reported on Tuesday, Haskel filed a petition against her own resignation, arguing it was improperly handled. If realized, the split would make Haskel an independent single-member faction in the Knesset, potentially shifting the coalition arithmetic. The exact timing and internal party process remain unclear, pending official confirmation from Haskel or New Hope.
