MK Yifat Shasha-Bitton announced today (Tuesday) that she has joined Gideon Saar's new party, as reported last night in "Israel Today".
Saar uploaded a tweet to the social network Twitter, which shows a picture of her next to Saar with the caption "We set off".
MK Dr. Shlomo Qarai responded to Shasha Bitton's resignation and joining Saar and said: One lost a glorious democratic defeat and kicked his constituents and the other spat at the well that reserved it and put it in the Knesset.
It is not for nothing that the starling went to the crow, but because he is a species. "
Since Saar announced his resignation from the Likud and the establishment of a new party, Shasha-Bitton's name has risen as a candidate to join him.
The two met last Wednesday to discuss the issue, and the official announcement is expected soon.

On Saturday night, Saar referred to the possibility that Shasha-Bitton would join his party and replied: "She is a serious, high-quality and excellent parliamentary woman, but there is still no conclusion."
Shasha-Bitton was interviewed this weekend by Shishvat magazine and said: "I met with everyone, and I have not yet decided where I am going. I am examining all the options."
She said, "Everyone talked to me. Ayelet Shaked and I are good friends, but I have not yet made any decision. When I decide, I will stand before the public in transparency and say what I have decided."

Shasha-Bitton, who came from the merger of all of us and the Likud, has made headlines in recent months when she, as chair of the Corona committee in the Knesset, expressed independent positions, and did not approve government decisions made in the committee.
Her party members have already marked her and spoken out strongly against her in recent months.
Coalition chairman MK Miki Zohar said she had no place in the Likud party because of what he called "opposition work" within the party.
MK Osnat Mark also sharply attacked her, saying: "Put down the keys and look for a party that will applaud you."
