In depth

Hasbara activist Yosef Haddad announced his departure from the 'Amcha Israel' party after the elections, in which the result he had hoped for was not achieved. Haddad, who was a candidate on the party's list, experienced a stormy election campaign that included attacks from all sides and departures of list members. He made clear that the political chapter has ended.

In a post he published, Haddad stated that he does not regret the attempt to influence and is not leaving the public arena. "I am returning with all my strength to the struggle and to activity on behalf of the state," he wrote. He added: "I am not disappearing, I am not giving up".

Haddad announced that he is returning to Israeli hasbara activity and that he plans to set out soon on a journey to the United States. "The chapter has ended, I am going on a journey," the post read.
