Chili Tropper's Zionist Home splits from Yoaz Hendel's Reservists, eyes Eisenkot slot

Zionist Home-The Reservists heads Chili Tropper and Yoaz Hendel on Sunday announced they would pursue "separate political paths," while stressing that their ideological partnership and decades-long friendship remain intact.

In a joint statement titled “True friendship,” the two recalled more than 20 years as neighbors and friends, sitting alongside one another in synagogue and serving together for several years in the reserves.

“We both chose to try to serve the public through the political arena as well,” they said. “In some cases together and in all other cases separately, but with a very similar ideological outlook.”
