MK Nir Orbach has decided to retire from political life for the time being and will not run in the upcoming elections, he said in a tweet on Thursday.
Nir Orbach, previously a member of the Yamina party, said that "It is the sons and daughters of religious Zionism who will decide whether a right-wing government will be formed after the elections or whether we will go to further elections."
"Submitting the lists today does not bring the right-wing bloc closer to 61. I suggest all players wake up. Personally, I intend to do everything I can, even outside the list, so that religious Zionism will vote for the establishment of a right-wing government," the tweet read.
