Labor MKs call on party leader Herzog to resign in the wake of aborted unity government talks with Netanyahu.
“It is now clear that Bibi used Herzog in order to bring Liberman into the government,” MK Stav Shafir writes on Facebook. She calls Herzog’s efforts to take Zionist Union into a unity government led by Netanyahu self-serving and “unforgivable.”
“A leader who cannot differentiate between the Bibi of a peace agreement and the Bibi who gives the defense portfolio to Liberman is not worthy to be head of the Labor Party,” she writes.
Colleague Mickey Rosenthal also demands Herzog’s resignation, saying that the party leader has lost the trust of the voters.
“The party will not be able to recover if you do not hand over the keys,” Rosenthal says, according to Maariv. “You have lost the confidence of the electorate.”
