Israeli Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi said Wednesday he is leaving the Blue and White party, marking the further disintegration of the centrist party.
Ashkenazi, a former military chief of staff, is joining an exodus from Blue and White ahead of March elections in which the party is expected to lose most of the 17 seats it currently holds in the 120-member Knesset, or parliament.
“I have decided not to continue in Blue and White. I am taking a break and will consider my path,” Ashkenazi said in a statement.
