      Majadle Convenes Meeting of Labor Arabs


      Minister Ghaleb Majadle decided on Friday to call a meeting of Arabs in the Labor party to decide their future path., following his 15th place finish in the party's primary election, according to Ynet. Analysts predict the party will garner only eight-to-11 seats in February's general elections.

      Majadle had threatened to leave Labor during the weeks leading up to the elections. Coalition agreements permitting, he could serve as a minister without being a Knesset member, but not as prime minister.
