Labor MK says she won’t run again, laments her party ‘no longer the same home’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleLabor MK Ayelet Nahmias-Verbin announces she won’t run in the party’s primaries for another term in the Knesset.
“I’ll remain in the political arena,” she says in a statement, lamenting the Labor party’s troubles. “Despite the great support I am receiving, my home is no longer the same home.”
She thanks her “beloved colleagues.”
Labor is sinking in the polls to single-digit support and has seen vociferous opposition forming in the party’s activist ranks to its controversial chairman Avi Gabbay after Gabbay’s decision last month to break up the political alliance with Tzipi Livni’s Hatnua party.
