“Israel Today” also learned that Nissenkorn refused to be No. 2 of opposition leader Yair Lapid and will probably be Huldai’s No. 2 and the two will compile the list together. Lapid’s office said in response to the publication: “.
A source close to the details told Israel Today that the Minister of Justice “debated a lot until the last minute. But recently realized that blue and white are ideologically moving away from him. He is a center-left man and felt that the party was going somewhere else that no longer corresponded with his ideology.”
As you may recall, Nissenkorn informed Defense Minister Bnei Gantz of his decision to leave Blue and White, and join Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai’s new party. “We will bring news to hundreds of thousands of Israelis who feel they have no political home – and we will do so in deeds and not in words,” Nissenkorn said. Huldai is scheduled to announce the formation of his new party tonight at a press conference.
Hundreds of thousands of Israelis feel they have no home in the current political system. We will raise their heads and give them back their hope. After being joined by a number of key figures in the Israeli public, it was time to present a clear alternative.

Meanwhile, a source in blue and white told “Israel Today” that “the party is falling apart, everyone is considering their own way and staring in their own direction.” A senior party official said: “A change in leadership is needed. Blue and white cannot continue in the current structure.”
