MK Danny Danon expressed on Sunday his disappointment over Minister Moshe Cachlon’s announcement that he would be taking a time out from politics.

“Minister Moshe Cachlon is an asset to the citizens of Israel,” Danon said. “His work is characterized by maintaining the values ​​of the Likud and by a sense of social mission.”

Danon added, “I have approached Minister Cachlon and called on him to remain in the Likud, run for the 19^th Knesset and hold a position of a cabinet minister in the next government, too.”
