Meretz Chairman Zahava Gal-On criticized HaTnua's decision to enter the coalition. 

"Livni's entrance into Netanyahu's government is a slap in the face to center-left voters who gave their vote to Livni because they thought she would promote a political settlement and today found their vote stolen and transferred to the right," said Gal-On. 

"Livni's peace talks were an empty election slogan. She chose to consciously enter the deadlock government of Netanyahu," she added.
