Member of Knesset Ksenia Svetlova has announced her resignation from the Hatenua' (Movement) Party of Knesset member Tzipi Livni.
Saying the party's emphasis is only security, Svetlova said, "I am very appreciative of Tzipi Livni as a stateswoman and thank her for the opportunity she gave me, but I believe that the party should also have a social agenda," saying she missed issues such as the cost of living and immigrant absorption, on which she entered the Knesset, in addition to diplomatic issues.
