Noam Party Leader Avi Maoz Departs Knesset Following Election Defeat
Following the 26th Knesset swearing-in, Noam Party chief Avi Maoz has officially left parliament after failing to cross the electoral threshold. He vowed to continue his public campaign outside the legislature.
Following the swearing-in of the 26th Knesset, MK Avi Maoz, chairman of the Noam Party, has officially departed the Israeli parliament after his faction failed to cross the electoral threshold in the recent elections, securing only a few thousand votes. In a farewell letter, Maoz wished success to the incoming legislature and vowed that his campaign for the Jewish character of the state will continue outside the parliament building.
"Today I conclude five and a half years as a member of the Knesset, during which I worked resolutely for the Jewish identity of the State of Israel, for Jewish education, and for the values upon which our path is founded," Maoz wrote. He emphasized his ongoing commitment to these issues, which formed the core of his political career.
Maoz made it clear that his absence from the Knesset will not halt his movement's activities. "Although in the next Knesset we will not be part of the parliamentary work, we will not stop working for the goals for which we set out," he stated, promising to continue fighting for his truth.
Concluding his message, Maoz thanked his numerous supporters and expressed hope for the future. The Noam Party received 6,219 votes in the elections, despite internal polls predicting they would cross the threshold. Maoz admitted in a previous letter to activists that the party failed to translate public sympathy into actual ballots at the polling stations.
