Wave of departures from Yesh Atid continues: Karine Elharrar will not seek reelection
Another prominent departure: Former minister Karine Elharrar announces that she will not seek a Knesset seat with Yesh Atid in the next election.
On Thursday, Yesh Atid MK Karine Elharrar declared she will not run for a seat in the upcoming Knesset election on behalf of her party. Elharrar is a long-serving member of Yesh Atid, having been part of the party since its founding in 2012. In her announcement, she expressed gratitude to party founder Yair Lapid for the opportunity to enter politics.
Elharrar highlighted her achievements, including serving in both coalition and opposition roles, chairing committees, holding the energy minister position, and advancing legislation for children, young people, and women's rights. Despite not running with Yesh Atid, she pledged to remain in the party and contribute to the ongoing election campaign.
Elharrar's decision follows a series of departures from the party, including MKs Debbie Biton and Tatiana Mazarsky. Yesh Atid faces significant changes ahead of the 2026 elections, with the party's composition undergoing major alterations.
