Labor’s Michaeli: We are fighting violence against women

Shortly after voting in Tel Aviv, Labor chief Merav Michaeli reacts to reports that a woman was murdered by her husband in Herzliya.

“This is what we’re fighting against every day and hour, our personal security everywhere, even at home. We won’t let up until this violence ends,” she says.

Earlier this morning, Michaeli called for voters to go to the polls, saying that the election “is in our hands.”

Although Labor has polled at around five seats, above the 3.25% threshold to enter Knesset, analysts have put it on a potential chopping block, especially if its base turns to bloc leader Yesh Atid or fails to come out today.

“Take yourselves, your family, your friends, put up a post, make phone calls, make sure that no one succumbs to despair, God forbid, because it’s in our hands, we can win,” she says.
