Labor’s Tal Russo could quit to allow MK Michaeli into Knesset — report

Labor’s No. 2 Tal Russo, a former general who joined the party ahead of the election, may quit politics and the party, paving the way for former lawmaker Merav Michaeli to enter the Knesset, Channel 12 reports.

Labor saw its worst election outcome since the founding of the State of Israel and is projected to receive just six of the 120 Knesset seats. Michaeli is No. 7 on the party slate.
