Deputy Education Minister Meir Yitzhak Halevi announces that he is leaving politics and will not seek a seat in the next Knesset.
Halevi entered the Knesset as a member of Justice Minister Gideon Sa’ar’s New Hope faction, which recently merged with Defense Minister Benny Gantz’s Blue and White to form the National Unity party. He was offered the 13th spot on the new party’s electoral slate for the November 1 vote, but declined to run.
