Labor MK: Word ‘peace’ not cited once in coalition deals
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleLabor’s Merav Michaeli says “there is not a single use of the word ‘peace’ in the coalition agreements.”
The media has been dazzled by the Lapid-Bennett partnership, she says, but it does not offer glad tidings. Its position on the Palestinians will be uncompromising.
Michaeli protests Netanyahu’s earlier speech, full of talk of security “threats” rather than a vision for a better future.
Ahmed Tibi (United Arab List) notes that the coalition agreements provide no timetable for Palestinian statehood. He welcomes the ultra-Orthodox parties to the opposition, and says they share some social causes, and highlights their “passion.”
