MK Zandberg calls Shalom resignation ‘victory’

Edit

MK Tamar Zandberg of Meretz is seemingly among the first out of the gate to comment on the resignation of Silvan Shalom, calling it a “victory,” albeit without mentioning Shalom by name.

“This is a victory for proper public norms. I am proud, together with my colleagues Zehava Galon and Michal Rozin, to belong to the group of those who came out against [him], despite everything,” she writes on Facebook.

Galon and Rozin, both from Meretz, had led calls for Shalom to resign as allegations against him mounted. (The allegations against Shalom were not substantiated and a police investigation was subsequently closed.)
