The Hadash party commented this evening (Tuesday) on MK Ayman Odeh's retirement notice.

"We respect MK Odeh's decision and emphasizes that he will continue to serve in the Knesset until the end of the current term. A new list will be chosen in preparation for the next election."

"Hadash expresses deep appreciation for Ayman and his commitment in all his positions: as a member of the Haifa City Council, as secretary of Hadash and as chairman of the list in the Knesset," the party's statement said.
