German, who was also a former mayor of Herzliya, will be replaced by Idan Roll, number 34 on the party slate.

“Due to my current situation, I won’t be able to commit like I’m used to and like our job in the Knesset demands, and so I’m resigning from the Knesset. I’m handing over to a new and young force who will take my place and keep driving us forward,” she says in a statement.
