The former Minister of Defense and Chief of Staff, MK Moshe (Bogie) Yaalon, the chairman of Telem, announced that he would not run in the 24th Knesset elections.
"I believed that in my and Telem's independent run, we could increase the power of the change camp. This working premise turned out to be wrong. In the political circumstances that have arisen, the struggle for change requires me and Telem not to run in the upcoming elections."
