Acting Knesset speaker accepts Yinon Magal’s resignation

Acting Knesset Speaker MK Yitzhak Vaknin receives and accepts the resignation letter of Jewish Home MK Yinon Magal, who is leaving the Knesset under a cloud of sexual harassment accusations.

The journalist-turned-lawmaker, who is married, has been accused by four women in the past two weeks of making untoward advances and sexual harassment while he served as editor-in-chief of the popular Hebrew-language news site Walla and shortly after.

Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein is abroad on a formal visit to Germany.
