Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFormer defense minister Moshe Ya’alon announces he’s forming a new political party and will run in the April election.
“I’ve promised and I’ve kept my promise,” says Ya’alon in a Facebook post. He says he’ll head the party and will soon unveil the party list.
“This party won’t have any shenanigans,” he says.
Ya’alon, a hawkish former IDF chief of staff and former Likud member, has vowed to challenge Netanyahu since he was ousted from the Defense Ministry in 2016 by the prime minister, to be replaced by Avigdor Liberman.
