Yesh Atid MK Mickey Levy confirmed on Monday that he would not be on the party's Knesset list, while assuring that he would remain within the party.
Levy also mentioned that he had met with party leader Yair Lapid, and had agreed to serve as the head of the party's court.
"We have come a long way together. A path that has not always been easy. There have been struggles, victories, disappointments, days of joy and also days of hardship. But we have always had faith in the path, in each other, and in our ability to change," Levy wrote.
He also thanked Lapid, as well as other members of the party, for years of collaboration and work to further their goals.
"I believe in you and am confident that the companies and members who will continue to bear the burden will lead Yesh Atid forward, and will continue to fight for the image and future of the State of Israel," he said.
Lapid says bond with Levy is stronger than ever
Lapid responded to Levy in a post on X/Twitter, saying that conversations with him had always been among "the most moving" that he'd had in his life.
"The bond between us is stronger than ever," Lapid concluded.
Earlier on Monday, an ex-Yesh Atid Knesset member, Yoav Segalovitz, joined the Ra'am (United Arab List) party, Ra’am chairman Mansour Abbas announced.
Segalovitz is expected to receive the second slot on the party’s slate, according to reports.
“We have work to do together,” Abbas said at a joint press conference with Segalovitz.
