Uri Ariel may leave Knesset pending National Union leadership battle
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAgriculture Minister Uri Ariel will reportedly run to keep his position as head of the National Union-Tekuma party that makes up half of Jewish Home, but will not be a candidate to be part of the faction’s Knesset slate.
What this means is that if he loses to expected rival Bezalel Smotrich, another lawmaker, he will leave the Knesset. However, if he wins, he is expected to negotiate a higher profile role in Jewish Home, which lost two of its top ministers Saturday.
