The office of Israel’s Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan announces that he will not be running in the upcoming Likud primaries and will remain in his post until the end of his three-year term, in August 2023.
The veteran MK and minister has expressed interest in one day leading Likud, but is joining several other party lawmakers in holding off on such plans until after Benjamin Netanyahu relinquishes the top spot.
Erdan “will continue… to harness his experience and capabilities to defend the State of Israel and its positions in the international arena,” his office says.
