Glazer's Political Transitions: From Gil to The Right Way
The landscape of the Knesset—the national legislature of Israel—is often marked by the shifting alliances and the creation of new political factions. One such example is the political trajectory of Glazer, whose movements between 2008 and 2009 illustrate the fluid nature of parliamentary representation.
The Break from Gil and Justice for the Elderly
In June 2008, Glazer became one of three Knesset members who decided to break away from the Gil party. This separation led to the formation of a new faction known as Justice for the Elderly.
This period of independence was relatively short-lived. By October 27, 2008, the new faction merged back into the original Gil party. However, Glazer chose not to rejoin the group during this reunification.
The Formation of The Right Way
Following the merger of Justice for the Elderly back into Gil, Glazer sought a different path. With the formal permission of the House Committee—the body responsible for managing internal parliamentary affairs—Glazer established a separate faction called The Right Way.
