Rebel Yamina MK Nir Orbach, who played a central role in bringing down the outgoing government, announces he is taking a timeout from politics.
A statement from Orbach says his retirement is “for the moment.” The move comes before a deadline tonight for parties to submit their final slates of candidates, which he argues won’t bring the right closer to a majority.
“I personally intend to do everything in my abilities from outside a slate for religious Zionists to vote for the establishment of a right-wing government,” he says.
