Former lawmaker Abir Kara announced that he will not run for the Knesset in the upcoming election or ask voters for their support. Kara said he reached the decision after a long review and had not found a political framework with the resolve to pursue the broad changes he seeks. He called for a leaner government with half as many ministries, major cost-of-living reforms and lower taxes. Kara said he would continue his public activity outside the Knesset and build support for a future return to politics.
