Labor activists gathering signatures to oust party chief
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleActivists in Labor have begun gathering signatures from party members in order to oust leader Avi Gabbay, according to Hebrew media reports.
The effort comes amid growing discontent in the opposition party over Gabbay’s leadership and in the wake of his surprise decision to disband the Zionist Union alliance with Tzipi Livni’s Hatnua.
With polls indicating Labor could plummet to as low as seven seats in April’s Knesset elections, a pair of lawmakers from the party called earlier today for Gabbay to consider resigning.
Gabbay, a former CEO of the Bezeq telecoms giant and environmental protection minister, won the primaries for Labor leader in 2017.
