Labor chief Gabbay calls exit polls 'a huge disappointment'

Channel 12 speculates that Labor Party chairman Avi Gabbay may resign after his center-left party appears to have done poorly in the election.

Tonight is “not a simple one for us. It’s a very not easy night for me. This is not how I hoped the night would end,” Gabbay tells Labor activists.

He calls the exit polls results, predicting the party will receive 6, 7 or 8 seats “a huge disappointment.”

Gabbay laments that his center-left party failed to partner with other parties to form a broader alliance. Gabbay says he hopes Benny Gantz forms the next government and says he spoke to the Blue and White leader to offer his support.

He thanks his supporters — but does not resign.
