Peretz: Labor has reached 'dramatic' coalition agreements with Blue and White

Labor-Gesher chief Amir Peretz says his party has reached “dramatic agreements” with Blue and White in coalition negotiations.

He says these would include a significant rise in the minimum wage; an end to employment of workers in the public service as independent contractors rather than full employees; free public education from infancy; a plan to help end the housing crisis; and full funding for a government plan to combat violence against women.

All well and good, but with less than a week left for Blue and White to form a coalition, and with the party seeming no closer to clinching it, it is unclear if these agreements will have much significance.
