MK Adi Kol (Yesh Attid) announces she will not be seeking reelection
And suprisingly also MK Nitzan Horowitz (Meretz)

Nooooooo!!!!  I loved that guy!  Any particular reason he bowed out?

official: exhausted after the Tel Aviv election
actual: failed to get his people elected to the national convention, might have been selected lower than 6, not that good of a relationship with Galon.

None the less an electoral blow. Now there's  an opening for a male to get selected in the top 6, going to be interesting

Damn.  Any particular reason why the relationship between him and Gal-on was so bad?

Regarding Netanyahu, the Julian knives are already coming out. The best thing to happen to them right before an election.

Galon has a primary/committee to answer to- if she loses seats, regardless of whether they stay in the Knesset, especially considering where Meretz was polling this time last year.

Lieberman is harder to answer for, considering he's basically a one man show. However, if people are unwilling to run with him, or jump ship, I could see him reincorporating himself into Likud, espacially when Bibi retires.

Yeah, Liberman, probably, will rejoin Likud.

Probably a likely bet.  Especially since the next Likud leader will almost certainly be to the right of Bibi.
