Former opposition leader Tzipi Livni said Tuesday that while she is leaving her seat in the Knesset, she does plan to abandon her political work.
"My principles require that I leave the Kadima and the Knesset," Livni said at a press conference before she handed her letter of resignation to Knesset speaker Reuven Rivlin."I am leaving [the Knesset] but I am not leaving public life," she said, adding "Israel citizens deserve more than what the current government can provide."
