Leon Litinzki, who is a supporter of former Labor leader Knesset Member Amir Peretz, will replace MK Danny Yatom, who announced Monday afternoon he is quitting politics. The nominee to the legislature, who has not yet been sworn in, said he intends to work for social legislation.
MK Yatom said he was quitting because of what he called constant deterioration in the ethics of the Olmert administration since the Second Lebanon War.
