National Unity says that MK Gadi Eisenkot informed party leader Benny Gantz that he intends to leave the party.
A statement from National Unity says Eisenkot told Gantz he will “return his mandate to the party” by resigning from the Knesset.
“The two emphasized the years-long friendship and tremendous respect between them, and that they will continue to cooperate for the shared goals and the people of Israel in the future,” the statement says.
There is no immediate confirmation from Eisenkot.
