Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon decides to quit politics — reports
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFinance Minister Moshe Kahlon decides to quit politics, Hebrew media reports.
The once-popular former Likud minister, who left the party in 2013 and ran as the head of his own Kulanu party, successfully garnering 10 seats in the 2015 elections, returned to Likud last year after a poor four-seat showing in the April 2019 race.
He is not speaking publicly about the decision, but reports say he is disappointed at Kulanu’s decline and doesn’t see a bright future for himself in Likud.
His name will not appear on the Likud Knesset list in the March 2 race, the reports say.
