Meretz laments Labor chief’s ‘destroying possibility of mergers on the left’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleMeretz laments Labor’s apparent decision to merge with Orly Levy-Abekasis’s Gesher in the upcoming election.
Peretz “is repeating the mistake of [former chairman] Avi Gabbay and is destroying the possibility of mergers in the left-wing bloc,” the party says in a statement.
“In the moment of truth Peretz decided to repeat the mistake of his predecessor and refused an alliance between Meretz and Labor.”
Levy-Abekasis was previously a member of the hard-right Yisrael Beytenu party. Though she largely focuses on social issues, she has remained largely identified with the right.
