Tzipi Livni expected to submit resignation from Israel's Knesset

Tzipi Livni is scheduled to meet Knesset Speaker Rivlin later Tuesday, where political sources estimate will submit her resignation from the Knesset following a recent loss to Shaul Mofaz in the Kadima primary.

<snip>

his victory speech, Mofaz told those gathered at the Kadima party headquarters that the party would replace the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel's next elections, and appealed to Israelis to have faith in the party's new journey "to the Israel we lost, that we dreamt about, that can be different."

He emphasized the need for a strong and united party following the primaries, and called on Livni to join him in the effort to "return Israel to the right path."

"Tzipi, your place is with us," he said.
