A report Sunday by Israel Hayom said Kulanu MK Michael Oren announced he is resigning from the Knesset and will not run in the next election. 'In 2015 I was called upon to serve the State of Israel in the Knesset,' said Oren , and 'for four full years as an MK and later as deputy minister, I worked tirelessly to strengthen Israel's relations with the world. I met with many leaders, fought the boycott organizations and worked to improve Israel's image.' Oren continued, 'I do not abandon the diplomatic mission... I will continue to fight against the boycott organizations and anti-Israel groups and to represent Israel around the world.' A spokesperson for Oren told The Jerusalem Post that Oren would not be stepping down. This story is developing.
