MK Matan Kahana on Tuesday informed party chief Benny Gantz that he intends to leave the National Unity party.
According to KAN, Kahana held a secret meeting with former prime minister Naftali Bennett and attorney Shlomo Filber, where they discussed Bennett's return to politics.
This follows MK Gadi Eisenkot's announcement on Monday that he would leave National Unity and resign from the Knesset. Eisenkot served as National Unity's number two following Gantz.
Eisenkot ran alongside Gantz in the 2022 election after receiving guarantees that the party would undergo a “democratization” process that would include a primary election, including for party leadership. However, Gantz failed to deliver on that process.
This is a developing story.
