Tzipi Livni to replace Herzog as opposition leader

Labor party chairman Avi Gabbay announces that Zionist Union MK Tzipi Livni will be appointed the Knesset opposition leader and will preserve her Hatnua party’s alliance with Labor in the Zionist Union faction in the 2019 elections.

Livni will be replacing Isaac Herzog, who gave up his Knesset seat to become head of the Jewish Agency.

The former foreign minister says her leadership will create “a strong opposition and a strong alternative for Israel with the Zionist Union at the center.”
