Ex-Meretz head says party ‘too good for state’

Former minister Yossi Sarid — an ex-Meretz party leader — tells the Walla news website the left-wing party “is probably too good for you, too good for the state.”

Sarid says the right-wing government “will likely bring several disasters upon us along the way — and not too far in the future.”

He urges Herzog not to enter a unity government with Likud.

Meretz received four seats in the election, according to a near-final count. Party leader Gal-on says she will quit if Meretz does not receive five seats by the final tally.
