MK Shelly Yechimovich (Labor) said that Labor must not sit in the same government with Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beiteinu.
Speaking on Channel 2's television news studio, Yechimovich said that if the exit poll results are accurate, it is time for Labor to head to the opposition and build itself up as a social-democratic alternative to the government. She said that even if Ehud Barak wants to join such a government, she would spearhead efforts to prevent him from doing so.
