Later, Ganz met with an MK Miki Haimovich And at the end of a personal conversation, they concluded that she would not be included in the blue and white list in the upcoming elections. Ganz wished Haimovich success in her future endeavors.
Haimovich responded: “I met with Ganz and we agreed on the end of our common political path, and that I will not run on the blue and white list for the next Knesset. This is a decision I agree with. I feel great relief at my vote, which led to the dissolution of the Knesset. My path and conscience and the way Ganz went deepened until they became unbridgeable, and I came from the premise that I would not run on the list in the next election.
“I have a clear conscience and I am proud of the way I voted to prevent Netanyahu from spreading and gaining more time in his post, after six months of running the country only in his personal and political interests. I thank Ganz for the partnership and trust, and thank him for the right to run the Interior and Environmental Protection Of the Knesset and wish him success in his future endeavors. “
Today, Bnei Gantz invited me to a meeting in which he informed me that following my vote last week, I would not be included on the Knesset list as a milkman. I do not regret and I am complete with my vote.
We parted as friends and I thanked him for the trust he had placed in me so far and begged him to do whatever was necessary so that the center-left would come united in the elections in a structure that would allow for a run for power.– Asaf Zamir Asaf Zamir (@asafzamir) December 27, 2020

As you may recall, last week, in the Knesset plenum vote against the bill, which was intended to extend the date of the budget debates and in fact determine the dissolution of the Knesset, in which Zamir also participated, who voted together with Shefa and Haimovich against.
As you may recall, about a month and a half ago, the former Minister of Tourism submitted a letter of resignation from the government, which came following the conduct of the unity government. At this point, he said at the time: “I tried to contain the tension between the deep desire to end Netanyahu’s rule and the attempt, which in my opinion was forced on us in light of the results of the third election, to balance it from within in a parity rotation government.”
