The Fifth Party: Is Tzipi Livni groping her way into Blue and White?

December 15, 2019   

After being a member of Likud, Kadima, and the Zionist Union - and founding the "Movement", former MK Tzipi Livni is currently pursuing a party that she has not yet named: Blue and White. According to a report by Daniel Roth-Avnery in Israel Hayom, Livni is exploring the possibility of offering herself as a candidate for the Blue and White list, and has even sent her associates in recent days to scout the area for her in the party. Livni's entourage says that she is ready and wants to return to political life with full force, and following the third election campaign, she sees Blue and White as a party with the potential to integrate into it. About a year ago, then-Labor Party Chairman Avi Gabbay decided to break up the partnership with Tzipi Livni, and in a live broadcast from a faction meeting, he announced the separation between the Labor Party and the movement and the dissolution of the Zionist Camp. Not long after, before the elections for the 21st Knesset, when Livni saw that her position in the polls was difficult, she decided to retire from political life. Tzipi Livni responded to Israel Hayom: "You were not informed of such a thing because it is not true, you cannot publish such news, and if you publish it, it will be from your knowledge that the publication is not true with all that it implies.".
