Knesset member Hili Tropper said after announcing his departure from the Blue and White party that "the recent years have wounded us all. Me too. They have also made me more determined. Today I am leaving home in order to continue, to have an impact and to serve Israel. Now is the time to ask what the country needs and how I can contribute to it in the most effective way. Where am I going? I'll decide in the coming weeks."
