Ex-Yesh Atid MK Elazar Stern joins Eisenkot’s Yashar, after announcing resignation from Knesset

Former minister and MK Maj.-Gen. (res.) Elazar Stern joined Gadi Eisenkot’s Yashar, the party announced on Monday.

“Elazar dedicated decades to Israel’s security and public service and has extensive experience as a minister, member of the Knesset, and IDF major-general. Over the years, he led a consistent struggle for universal service, the people’s army model and statesmanship, and worked to connect different parts of Israeli society from a Jewish, democratic and Zionist perspective,” Eisenkot stated.

Earlier this month, Stern announced his resignation from Yesh Atid, where he had been a member since 2015, and initially said he would resign from the Knesset entirely.

This is a developing story.
