MK Tal Russo announced that he will not run for the leadership of the Labor Party and that he is removing himself from the party's list for the 22nd Knesset.
"In the reality we have found ourselves: early elections and the election of a party chairman in such a short period of time do not allow me to do things as I had hoped. I do not want to be a partner in the battles for succession and therefore I am removing my candidacy for the position of chairman and from the list for the 22nd Knesset."
