Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe retired IDF general Gal Hirsch announces his intention to run for the Knesset in the coming elections.
Hirsch was dropped as a candidate for Israel Police commissioner in 2015 due to suspicions of criminal wrongdoing on his part, and is still under investigation due to his dealings in the country of Georgia.
According to media assessments, he will either join the Likud party, where his candidacy is being championed by Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan, or a new slate that has yet to be announced.
