20% of Labor members vote so far in primary
On the day Israel’s eyes are focused on the funerals of four Jewish-French victims whose remains were flown in from Paris to be buried in Jerusalem, 49,000 Labor Party members were readying to vote in their party primary.
Members can vote for 36 candidates in 76 ballots across the country. Voting stations opened at 10 a.m. and by 2 p.m. around 20 percent of members had already cast their ballots.
The Labor list will presented on Wednesday at 11, and on Wednesday evening the party’s candidates for the next Knesset will be presented to the public at an official party event in Kibbutz Shfayim.
