Hatnua party leader Tzipi Livni applauds the results of the Labor primaries, which placed MKs Shelly Yachimovich and Stav Shaffir in third and fourth place, behind Livni and party chairman Isaac Herzog. Overall, there are seven female candidates in the top 25 in the joint Hatnua-Labor list.

“No longer a maidaleh, no longer at the back of the bus, and no longer the person who will answer the phone at 3 a.m., because on our joint list women are front-and-center, and rightfully so,” Livni wrote in a Facebook post.

The 2015 elections will not only usher in “a political revolution,” Livni writes, “but also a social revolution for women — the day women become equal partners in running the state.”
