Chairman Ephraim Sneh of the Yisrael Hazaka (Strong Israel) party announced Friday that the party's primaries will be held via an internet vote, on December 10.
Sneh took the occasion to slam the Kadima and Labor parties, saying that "Kadima has been following the social policies of the Likud and of [former Prime Minister Binyamin] Netanyahu's and has essentially become the Likud-light." Sneh, who left Labor to form Yisrael Hazak added that his former party, "has lost the desire to govern."
