RAPAPORT... Eli Avidar will step down as managing director of the Israel
Diamond Exchange (IDE) to pursue a career in politics.
The IDE chief chose not to continue in his position as head of
the bourse, which he has held since January 2016, and will leave shortly, he
told Rapaport News Sunday. He will also resign as managing director of
the Israel Diamond Institute (IDI). The former diplomat plans to run for the
Knesset, Israel’s parliament, in the next elections, the timing of which has
not been confirmed, national daily Israel Hayom reported.
“My role at the diamond bourse was challenging and
satisfying, but once I made the decision to go into politics, I could no longer
hold [that] position, as it requires my full attention,” Avidar told that
newspaper.
