MK Merav Michaeli (Zionist Union) has commented on the internal fight between party head Yitzhak Herzog and former head Shelly Yachimovich.

"Shelly Yachimovich is Herzog's main political opponent, and not just today. I also hear a lot of voices backing Herzog," she told Army Radio.

"We have to admit that sometimes our people are susceptible to gloating and misbehavior," MK Michaeli added. "It doesn't help the Labor party resume its position as the government alternative that it should be."
