Simcha Dinitz, recently elected chairman of the World Zionist Organization and Jewish Agency Executives, announced Thursday that he will resign his Knesset seat next month.
Dinitz, a Laborite, is expected to be replaced by Yaacov Gil, who heads the list of Labor candidates who fell short of election to the Knesset in 1984.
But Gil is taking nothing for granted. “Let’s wait and see,” he told reporters.
Dinitz will be allowed to join the Labor Party’s ministerial “Sareinu” forum, which will increase in membership from 12 to 13.
