Labor chairman ends merger with Meretz as he prepares to join government
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleLabor chairman Amir Peretz has notified Meretz leader Nitzan Horowitz that the merger agreement between their two parties has ended, in a move that appears to be a precursor to Peretz joining Benjamin Netanyahu’s government.
Peretz had repeatedly vowed throughout the past two election campaigns not to sit in a government under Netanyahu, but is slated to walk back on the promise along with his No. 2 Itzik Shmuli.
The party’s third lawmaker Merav Michaeli has stated that she will not join her colleagues and will remain in the opposition.
