MK Yossi Yonah (Zionist Union) called on Thursday morning to determine a date for primary elections, to select a new head of the Labor party, in light of MK Yitzhak Herzog’s statements against MK Shelly Yechimovich on Wednesday.

“We all know how severe the use of false patriotism to distract the public and lead them astray is. Instead of slamming fellow faction members, Herzog needs to take responsibility for the embarrassing failure of the move he made.”
