Amir Peretz: Labor returning to the national leadership
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleLabor party chief Amir Peretz says his party will join the unity government of Benjamin Netanyahu and Benny Gantz.
“The Labor party is returning to national leadership,” he tweets. “We decided to join the equal unity government… and in a year and a half will be partners to Benny Gantz becoming the 13th prime minister of Israel. Because as we’ve said — for us it’s people before all else.”
The Labor party currently consists of three MKs, one of which has said she will refuse to sit in a Netanyahu-led government. Peretz’s bid must still be ratified by party members.
