Hilik Bar is Labor’s third MK today to say he won’t seek reelection
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIt’s been a rough day for the Labor Party, with three serving MKs announcing they will not seek reelection to the party’s Knesset slate in the upcoming primaries amid polls showing the party’s election prospects sinking into the single digits.
After MKs Ayelet Nahmias-Verbin and Eitan Broshi announced they were stepping out of the race, MK Hilik Bar, the party’s former secretary-general and a key activist, says he won’t seek a Knesset seat either.
Bar says in a statement that he plans to campaign for the party until the April 9 elections, after which he will turn to activism in support of a two-state peace solution with the Palestinians.
