Deputy speaker of the Knesset, Likud MK Sharren Haskel, is expected to make a statement to the media at 10:15am today.
Haskel is likely to announce she is leaving the Likud to join Gideon Sa'ar's new party.
Toronto-born Haskel served in the IDF as a Border Guard during the 2nd Intifada and was the second youngest member of the 20th Knesset.
