Meretz leader Zahava Galon says her party is now running the mother of all “gevalt” campaigns, with internal polls showing her party is on the brink of failing to get into the Knesset.
“It’s not gevalt, it’s the mother of gevalt,” the left-wing party leader tells Ynet, referring to the Israeli tradition of running campaigns warning of impending doom. Gevalt is a Yiddish term indicating dismay.
Galon says internal party polling from this weekend indicates that Meretz was “a hairsbreadth” from failing to cross the electoral threshold to enter Knesset.
