Merav Michaeli, the leader of Israel's Labor Party, has announced her resignation, triggering primaries within four months to elect a new leader. Michaeli's decision comes amidst criticism for the party's failure to unite with Meretz in the last election, which contributed to Netanyahu's return to power. This move marks the first resignation of a party leader in Israel since October 7. Michaeli clarified that she will not run for party leadership or a spot in the next elections. Her departure is seen as a response to the crisis in Israel, and her party is not part of Netanyahu's current government. Likud MK Danny Danon is preparing to mount a challenge as Netanyahu's popularity wanes.
