Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer plans to retire from political life before the next election, Hebrew media reports Monday.
Dermer has been openly discussing his retirement since Israel’s 12-day war targeting Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missiles program, unnamed senior government officials tell the Israel Hayom daily.
The top aide to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former US ambassador has not settled on an exact date to leave his position, but will do so before the elections, the sources say.
