The Israeli Brother party, headed by Adina Bar-Shalom, announced Tuesday that it will not run in the upcoming elections despite the submission of its list to the Central Elections Committee last week.

"In view of the political reality that has emerged over the past few days and out of responsibility for the electorate, the party council has decided not to run in the elections for the 21st Knesset," the party said.

"the Israeli Brother party will continue to advance its values, first and foremost through respectable and unifying discourse that allows discussion of disputes by means of clarification and the formulation of joint agreements and the granting of a place for existing differences in Israeli society."

"We are committed to continuing to work to realize the ideas of the Israeli Brother Party and the work plan we have written in recent years in the fields of education, society, health, and co-existence."
