TL;DR

MK Shvut Ra'anan has left the Reservists' Party (Mifleget HaMiluimnikim) on the day the party is holding primaries to finalize its candidate list, according to an announcement by Amit Segal (N12). The move reshuffles the slate ahead of internal voting.

01 · THE DISPATCH

MK Shvut Ra'anan announced her departure from the Reservists' Party (Mifleget HaMiluimnikim) on Tuesday morning, the very day the party is holding primaries to finalize its candidate list. The announcement was reported by Amit Segal (N12), who noted a disclosure link attached to the post. The timing of the exit — coinciding with internal elections to determine the slate — immediately reshuffles the party's composition ahead of the vote. Ra'anan's departure leaves the party with fewer sitting MKs as it seeks to establish its final list for the next Knesset. The background context, according to The Zioneer's earlier coverage, shows that Likud primaries opened this season with an attack on 'useful right' figures who allied with Ra'am, indicating a broader realignment among right-of-center parties. It remains unclear whether Ra'anan intends to join another party or run independently.
