Former Kulanu minister to run for head of Labor

Former Environment Protection Minister Avi Gabai announced on Saturday night that he would run for the position of chairman of the Labor party.

Gabai was one of the founders of Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon’s Kulanu party and had served as a Cabinet minister who is not an MK. He resigned from his post last May, in protest over the appointment of Avigdor Liberman to the post of Defense Minister, and joined Labor last December.
